Solving systems equations by elimination

Mathematics

I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:

<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23

you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and - 

Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.

Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest 

Good luck!</span>

X - 2y = -3<br> 2x + y = -1
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

y = 1

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = -3, then x = 2y - 3

2x + y = -1

substitute for x:

2(2y - 3) + y = -1

4y - 6 + y = -1

5y = 5

y = 1

x = 2 - 3 = -1
