Question

Solve the system of equations.
7x - 2y = -1
-6x + 3y = 6

Answer 1

multiply the first equation by 3 and the next by 2. note: i'm doing this so that i can eliminate the y variable. and now ad them . u get x=1 and hence y=4 :)

Answer 2

21x-6y=-3
-12x+6y=12
------------ add
9x=9
x=1
substitute x=1 in any given equation:
7*1-2y=-1
can you find y from that?

Answer 3

X = 1
Y = 4

You can multiply the first equation by 6 also
and the second by 7

Answer 4

did you get it irene?
