Question

Solve using elimination. 8x – 6y = -6 2x – 4y = -14

Answer 1

I’m not sure if you want the answer or how to do i’ll just give you both.
multiply the bottom by -4. then it should look like:
8x-6y=-6
-8x+16y=56
then cancel out the x’s and add/subtract the others, giving you: -2y=50. then divide 50 by -2 giving you: y=-25. then find x. plug in y to one of the equations. i usually do the one that hasn’t been messed with. 8x-6(25)=-6. then solve it like a normal two-step equation.
so the answer is: (18,-25)
