Use the elimination method by subtraction to solve for x and then y.

Mathematics

diamong [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations have -7y. You can eliminate them by subtracting one equation from the other:

Multiply equation 1 by -1, then add it to equation 2:

-2x + 7y = 74

3x - 7y = -83

———————

x = -9

2x - 7y = -74

2(-9) - 7y = -74

-7y = -56

Y = 8

(x,y) = (-9, 8)

Solve the equation 96 - 4.5y - 3.2y = 5.6y + 42.80. Show your work.
Nikolay [14]
96 - 4.5y - 3.2y = 5.6y + 42.80

96 - 7.7y = 5.6y + 42.80

96 = 5.6y + 42.80 + 7.7y

96 = 13.3y + 42.80

96 - 42.80 = 13.3y

53.2 = 13.3y

4 = y

hope that helps, God bless!
