Question

Someone help i need this solved by elimination

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 4 and y is (-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

• x + 2y = -14
• x – y = 13

To Find;

• Value of x
• Value of y
• By Elimination Method

Now, Name the equation

x + 2y = -14 ...(1)

x – y = 13 ...(2)

Now,

x + 2y = -14

x – y = 13

– + –

3y = -27

y = -9

Now, put the value of y in equation 2

x – y = 13

x – (-9) = 13

x + 9 = 13

x = 4

Thus, The value of x is 4 and y is (-9)

For Verification;

x + 2y = -14

4 + 2(-9) = -14

4 – 18 = -14

-14 = -14

x – y = 13

4 – (-9) = 13

4 + 9 = 13

13 = 13

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S

Answer 2

Answer:

y=-25, x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

1 subtract both equations from each other vertically.

x-x=0,

2y-y=1y

-14-13=-25

1y=-25

y=-25

2. Find x using y

x--25=13

x+25=13

x=-12
