Question

How to solve it using elimination

Answer 1

X=3
y=5

You have to cancel out either the x values or the y values (I chose y). You multiply both equations by particular numbers so either the x values or y values can be equal to each other, as well as positive or negative to each other. I multiplied -7y by 4 and 4y by 7, and got -28y and 28y. I then canceled those out. The numbers you multiply by also affects the rest of the equations, so I ended up with 48x=4 and -35x=35. After that, you combine like terms, which results in 13x=39. You divide 13 by both sides and you end up with x=3. To find y, all you have to do is plug in the x value to one of the equations, then solve for y. I resulted in y=5.

Hope this helped ^_^
