Question

Solve by Elimination: 8x + 6y = -5 10x + 6y= -13

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -4 and y= 27/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-(8x + 6y = -5) which converts to -8x -6y = 5

10x + 6y = -13

simplify from there

-8x + 10x = 2x ; -6y + 6y = 0 ; 5 - 13 = -8

soo, now you have

2x = -8

x = -4

then, plug in to find y

8(-4) + 6y = -5

-32 + 6y = -5   add 32 on both sides

6y = 27    divide both sides by 6

y= 27/6 or 4.5
