Question

Solve by elimination.
24x + 2y = 52
6x - 3y = -36
Need Help Please explain

Answer 1

multiply the bottom equation by -4 so the x's cancel out then add the remaing terms

Answer 2

24x +2y = 52
6x-3y = -36 ..... multiply this equation with -4 then add both equation we get
-24x + 12y = 144.

after adding 14y=196
y= 196/14 = 15. so y =15 and x =1.5

Answer 3

ok so where does the four come from?

Answer 4

just multiply -4 to eliminate 1 variable x here
