Answer:
( 18, -6.5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
First choose which method you plan on using: Substitution or Elimation. I chose elimination based off preference.
How to solve using Elimination:
5x -2y = 88 (multiply every number in this equation by two)
3x+4y=58
10x -4y = 176
3x+4y=58 (combine these two equations)
13x = 234 (isolate x by dividing by 13 on both sides)
x = 18 (this is your value for x)
3(18) +4y=58 (plug in for x)
54+4y=28 (solve)
4y = -26 (subtract 54 from both sides)
y = -6.5 (this is y)
write answer in (x, y) format
( 18, -6.5 )
