Answer 1

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting each equation in standard form is a good start.

1. Divide the first equation by 2. Divide the second equation by -5.

• x +2y = 2
• x - y = -1

2. Divide the first equation by 2; multiply the second by -1.

• x +2y = 2
• 3x -y = 1

3. Divide the first equation by 2.

• x +2y = 2
• 7x +5y = -1

4. Divide the first equation by 2.

• x +2y = 2
• 7x -y = 5

5. Divide the first equation by 2.

• x +2y = 2
• 7x -y = -1
