Answer:
( 2 , 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Your going over two and up six. Rise over run is a good thing to remember when doing these.
The GCF of 18 and 24 is 6. And the GCF of 10 and 90 is 18.
Hope this helps! :D

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The addition method is a good choice in this case since you have x in one equation and -x in the other equation, and x and -x add to zero, eliminating x.
x - 5.5y = -14
-x + 2.6y = 8.2
Add the equations. x and -x ad to zero, eliminating x. Then solve for y.
-2.9y = -5.8
Divide both sides by -2.9
y = 2
Substitute 2 for y in the first original equation, and solve for x.
x - 5.5y = -14
x - 5.5(2) = -14
x - 11 = -14
x = -3
Solution: x = -3; y = 2
Since the coefficients of y in the two original equations are not opposites, the addition method would not be the best method to use to solve for y first.
