Part 1: Explain, in complete sentences, how you would use the elimination method to solve the following system of equations. (4 points) Part 2: Provide the solution to the system. (2 points)

5x – 9y = –16
2x + 6y = –16

anonymous · Answer

And it comes out to be 6x=32 right?

lalaly · Answer

sory typo:S
u add both equations to eliminate y

$$2 \times (5x-9y=-16)$$$$3 \times (2x+6y=-16)$$
$$10x-18y=-32$$$$6x+18y=-48$$--------------
$$16x=-32$$

Ohhh i missed the multiplying of the rest of the equation lol. Thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

16x = -80 though

anonymous · Answer

What do you mean?

lalaly · Answer

oh lols majre is right cos -48+-32 = -80

anonymous · Answer

Right!! My bad. Thank you, Majre lol

anonymous · Answer

after that you solve for x then input x into either equation to solve for y.
