Question

Using elimination, what is the solution to the following system? x+6y=32 -x-3y=-17

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2, y=5. (2, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6y=32

-x-3y=-17

---------------

3y=15

y=15/3

y=5

x+6(5)=32

x+30=32

x=32-30

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

(2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6y = 32

x = 32 - 6y

           -x - 3y = -17

-(32 - 6y) - 3y = -17

-32 + 6y - 3y = -17

                 3y = 15

                   y = 5

x + 6(5) = 32

          x = 2
