Solve each system by elemination, 4x+8y=20 and -4x+2y=-30

1 answer:

5 0

The sum of the left side of these two equations is equal to the same of the right side is these two equations
4x+8y + (-4x+2y) = 20 + 30
10y =50 ( x is eliminated)
y=5
Take this into the second equation
-4x +2y = 30
-4x + 2*5 = 30
x=-5

So x=-5
y=5

What is the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations

solniwko [45]

Use elimination method - I am eliminaing the y-variable.

1(5x + 8y = 16) → 5x + 8y = 16
4(6x - 2y = 54) → 24x - 8y = 216
Add equations: 29x = 232
Divide by 29: x = 8

Answer: x = 8
