So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables. -6x + 6y = 6 -6x + 3y = -12 The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1. -6x + 6y = 6 6x - 3y = 12 Now you add the eqautions. 3y = 18 Divde 3 from both sides. y = 6 Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one. -6x + 6(6) = 6 -6x + 36 = 6 Subtract 36 from both sides. -6x = -30 Divide -6 from both sides. x = 5 So your solution is (5, 6). I hope this helps love! :)
