3x-4y=65
3x=65+4y
x=(65+4y)/3, when y=4
x=(65+4*4)/3
x=(65+16)/3
x=81/3
x=27
5x+8=-27
8 more means addition. -27 would be total. 5 times the number ( in this case x) would mean multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:
because it lapped it by a couple of years equaling 2
Answer: where’s the question at?
Step-by-step explanation:reword it so i can understand and i’ll try to help

so hmm the idea behind the elimination, is to make the value atop or below, of either variable, the same but with a negative sign
so hmmm say... we'll eliminate "y"
so... let's see, we have 2y and 5y, both positive
what do we multiply 2y to get a negative -5y, that way, -5y +5y = 0 and poof it goes
well let's see, let's try "k"

so.. if we multiply 2y by -5/2, we'll end up with -5y
well, let's multiply that first equation then by -5/2

so.. now we know x = 1.... so let's plug that in say hmmm 2nd equation
