Answer:
Elimination (multiplication and subtraction)
There is 1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The only way to solve this system of equations is by elimination (multiplication). Let's say that we want to cancel out the x. You multiply the first equation by 5 and you multiply the second equation by 2.
Your equations now are:
10x-5y=55 and 10x+6y=-22
You can subtract these equations to get -11y = 77.
Now that we know that y = -7, we can substitute y in to solve x.
10x-5(-7) = 55
10x=20
x=2
Final answer (2,-7)
Subtract 110 dollars from 77 dollars to get your answer of 33 dollars
