How do you solve the following system of equations by eliminating the y-values? I've already solved it by eliminating the x-valu

es so I know the answer is (-9/2, -10) but I'm having trouble getting that answer by eliminating the y-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the y terms are -3 and 2.  The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.  So multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, so that the y terms have a coefficient of 6.

4x − 6y = 42

-18x + 6y = 21

The signs are opposite, so add the equations together.

-14x = 63

x = -9/2

Can you please solve these equations by elimination? -10x -10y=20 , -7x -7y=14.
mash [69]

Answer:

-10x -10y=20

-10x - 20=10y

-10x - 20/10=y

-10x - 2=y

y=-10x-2

-7x -7y=14

-7x - 14 = 7y

-7x - 14/7=y

-7x - 2=y

y=-7x-2

-8x+2y=-2<br> 4x+4y=-4<br> What is the solution to the system
pickupchik [31]

The solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

-8x + 2y = -2 ----------- eqn 1

4x + 4y = -4 ---------- eqn 2

We have to solve the system of equations

We can solve the equations by elimination method

<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>

8x + 8y = -8 ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Add eqn 1 and eqn 3</u></em>

-8x + 2y = -2

8x + 8y = -8

( + ) ---------------

0x + 2y + 8y = -2 - 8

10y = -10

Divide both sides by 10

y = -1

<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>

-8x + 2(-1) = -2

-8x - 2 = -2

-8x = -2 + 2

x = 0

Thus the solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1
