Question

Solve using either substitution or elimination X-3Y=-14 X-Y=-2

Answer 1

Answer: (4,6)


Explanation:

x - 3y = -14
x - y = -2

Multiply a -1 to the first equation so the x’s can cancel out.

-x + 3y = 14
x - y = -2

Subtract the two equations together.

2y = 12

y=6

Now, plug in y to one of the original equations.

x - (6) = -2

x=4

Therefore, the answer is: (4,6)
