Question

-6x + 2y = 16 -4x + y = 9 Can someone show me how to solve the system?

Answer 1

First you can either substitute or elimination.

So what I did was (2) -6x+2y=16  -------> -12x+4y=32

(-3) -4x+y=9 -------------------------------------> 12x-3y= -27

which would come to y=5 and if you put it back in both equations which would make x= -1
