First we'll multiply the second equation by -2
Now let's add the new equation and the first one.
We found y's value. We'll plug it in one of the equations to find x's value.
Solution ;
(9, -6)
Our equation looks like:
This means that we will need to distribute. This means that we need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis. (<em>Note: you only distribute when variables are involved.)</em>
Simplify:
We cannot simplify any further, so we know that our equation, until we know what x equals, is .
