Question

Solve using the elimination method. 2x + 7y = 36 6x - 7y = - 60 ​

Answer 1

Point form: (-3,6)
Equation form: x=-3, y=6

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=-3$

$y=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination method:

$2x+7y=36$

$6x-7y=-60$

Add these equation to eliminate y:

$8x=-24$

Then solve $8x=-24$ for x:

$8x=-24$

$\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{-24}{8}$

$x=-3$

Add the value of x to solve y:

$2x+7y=36$

Substitute $-3$ for x in $2x+7y=36$

$(2)(-3)+7y=36$

$7y-6=36$

$7y=36+6$

$7y=42$

$y=42/7$

$y=6$

{ $x=-3$ and $y=6$ }

hope this helps....
