Question

elimination method
x+24=14
x+3=11

Answer 1

Are you missing the y's?

Answer 2

no its suppose to be elimination method

Answer 3

oh wait its wrong hold on x-2y=14
x+3y=11

Answer 4

x = 64/5 and y = -3/5

Answer 5

o.k. given your other equations...
eq1-eq2 => -5y = 5 => y =-1 =>x =12

Answer 6

Multiply the bottom equation by -1.
This gives you -x -3 = -11, add this to the top equation.
This eliminates the x's.
Solve for y.

Answer 7

Once you have solved for y, plug in the y value into either original equation and solve for x.

Answer 8

x-2y=14
x+3y=11 - subtract
---------
0 -5y=3 --- y=-3/5 than x=14+2(-3/5)=14-(6/5) =(70-6)/5 =64/5

x=64/5
y=-3/5
