Question

4x -9y= -42 x+5y=4 Solve by elimination

Answer 1

This is what I got as the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -6 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-9y = -42

x+5y = 4

4x-9y = -42

4x + 20y = 16

Take them away from each other.

-29y = -58

Find what one y is by dividing.

-58 / -29 = 2

y = 2

Substitute back into original.

x + 10(5*y) = 4

Take 10 away to find x.

x = -6

Check if answer is correct.

4x - 9y = -42

-24 - 18 = -42

Final Answer: x = -6 and y = 2
