Question

Apply the elimination method to solve the system of equations 2x+6y=8 and 3x+2y=2 which three statements are correct

Answer 1

Answer: x= -2/7, y = 10/7

Step-by-step explanation: 1) 2x +6y = 8 and 2) 3x + 2y = 2

Multiply equation 2) by -3 and you get -9x -6y = -6.

Add together and sum is -7x = 2 and x= -2/7 then insert to eat, 2) value of x:

3·(-2/7) +2y = 2 and 2y = 2+ 6/7 2y = 20/7 and y = 10/7
