-x- y=-4 -2x+y=-5 How do you it for solving eliminating

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination is a method of solving systems where we add or subtract the two equations to "eliminate" one of the variables.

Take a look at our system. We have a -y and a +y. If we added those together, they would cancel!

-x- y=-4

-2x+y=-5   +

--------------

-3x + 0y = -9

It worked! No more y. Solve for x!

-3x = -9

<u>x = 3</u>

Plug x back in to get y.

-x - y = -4

-3 - y = -4

-y = -1

<u>y = 1</u>
