How to solve for elimination

Mathematics

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

In most cases, you can do the inverse (opposite) operation on both sides of an equation to cancel out a certain value.

For example:

2x + 3y = 20
-2x + y = 4

This is a system of equations, just combine them to give you:

4y = 24

and divide both sides by 4:

y = 6

Sorry if this isn't what you were asking for, but the question was so vague, and this is what I assumed you were asking about, hopefully this helps regardless.

Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3x = 3

x - 2y = 4

-3x + y = 3

x - 2y = 4

-6x + 2y = 6

x - 2y = 4

Add the equations.

-5x = 10

x = -2

Substitute -2 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.

y - 3x = 3

y - 3(-2) = 3

y + 6 = 3

y = -3

Answer: x = -2, y = -3

Answer: y = -2/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation: you find the slope by finding “rise/run”. the rise is -2, and the run is 3, so the slope is -2/3. the y intercept is 5
