Question

Solve the system using elimination.

Answer 1

The solution is (1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

 7x + 10y = 27

 x - 10y = -19                                                                                                                    +--------------------

8x = 8

Divide by 8 on both sides

x = 1

To find y substitute any of the equations to 1

7(1) + 10y = 27

7 + 10y = 27

Substract 7 from both sides

10y = 20

Divide by 10

y = 2
