Question

-62 + 18y = 264 -12x - 36y = 130 What solution is this

Answer 1

Answer: x = $-\frac{391}{6} =\\-65 \frac{1}{6}\\ -65.166666667\\y=\frac{163}{9}=18\frac{1}{9} \\18.111111111$

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply -36 and 163/9 to get -652. Add 652 to both sides then add 130 and 652 to get 782. Divide both sides by -12 then reduce the fraction 782/-12 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2. The system is now solved.
