Question

Help with this plz.Solve the system of equations using the elimination method.​

Answer 1

Let's solve your system by elimination.

8x+y=−16;3x−y=5

8x+y=−16

3x−y=5

Add these equations to eliminate y:

11x=−11

Then solve: 11x=−11 for x:

11x=−11

11x

11

=

−11

11

(Divide both sides by 11)

x=−1

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

8x+y=−16

Substitute: −1 for x in 8x+y=−16:

(8)(−1)+y=−16

y−8=−16(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y−8+8=−16+8(Add 8 to both sides)

y=−8

Answer:

x=−1 and y=−8

Answer 2

Answer:Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient.

Subtract the second equation from the first.

Solve this new equation for y.

Substitute y = 2 into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 above and solve for x.
