Question

Given the system of equations, what is the solution?

2x + 3y = 2
3x - 4y = 20

Answer 1

When you are solving system of equation, your goal is to eliminate a variable

Answer 2

right so subtract either 2x or 3y so it can cancel out and do the same to the other aside

Answer 3

Let's eliminate x, to do so
we multiply first equation by 3 and second by -2
6x+9y=6
-6x+8y=-40
---------------

Now when you add the equations, the x should cancel out

17y=-34
y=2

Answer 4

now plug y =2 back in and solve for x

Answer 5

huh?

Answer 6

y = 2,so:
2x + 3 * 2 = 2
2x + 6 = 2
2x = -4
x = -2

Answer 7

so my answer is -4 and something?

Answer 8

no it's
(-2; 2)

Answer 9

ok thanks had got confusedd
