Question

Please help! Explain how you got the answer, what is the elimination method?

Answer 1

The elimination method is when you eliminate one variable.hope this helps

Answer 2

4x + 3y = 6
-2(2x + 2y= 5) multiply by -2 to cancel the x and solve for y

4x + 3y = 6
-4x -4y = -10
subtract 3y-4y= -y and 6-10= -4

-y = -4. divide by -1 to both sides

y = 4

substitute y for 4

4x + 3(4)= 6

4x + 12 = 6 subtract 12 (both sides)
4x = -6

x = -6/4= -3/2 (reduced to simplest form

(-3/2, 4)
