Question

Solve the system of equations. 7x + 6y = -1 --x + 2y = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

X=-1

Y=1

Solve using Elimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second equation by 7.

The two equations are now:

7x+6y=-1

-7x +14y=21

Combine the two equations

7x and -7x cancel each other out, 14y+6y is 20y, and 21 - 1 is 20.

The equation is now

20y=20, divide 20 on both sides to get Y=1.

Now, substitute 1 as Y in the second equation for -x+2(1)=3

-x+2=3, can be simplified, by subtracting 2 from both sides. Giving us

-x=1.

Divide both sides by -1 for X=-1

Final answers being X=-1, Y=1
