solve using elimination method:
2x – y = 8,
y = 5x + 3

Question

anonymous · Answer

do I change 2nd equation to :  5x -y =3?  I am confused

jhonyy9 · Answer

so yes you are right and after this for we can eliminet the term of y so for we need multiply first equation by -1 and after this you assum thses two equations

jhonyy9 · Answer

2x-y=8
5x-y=-3

jhonyy9 · Answer

sorry 5x-y=-3 will be correct

anonymous · Answer

so, how do I eliminate for the 'y' variable? do I multiply the reciprocal of one 'y' variable to one equation?  Like for the 1st equation I would multiply '1' to eliminate the 'y'?

anonymous · Answer

oh wait...I meant '-1' instead of 1

jhonyy9 · Answer

so 

2x-y=8
5x-y=-3 multiply by -1

2x-y=8
-5x+y=3
-----------
-3x 0 =11
3x= - 11
x= -11/3

jhonyy9 · Answer

ok ?

jhonyy9 · Answer

and now calcule the y

anonymous · Answer

then I get -2x + y = -8, then I add or subtract to 5x - y = -3?  ---oh ok  tyty

jhonyy9 · Answer

and now you can calcule the y 

 yes ?

jhonyy9 · Answer

camon i will wait it

jhonyy9 · Answer

so if right ok than thank you the medal 

 good luck 

bye

jhonyy9 · Answer

so if right ok than thank you the medal 

 good luck 

bye

jhonyy9 · Answer

so y= 5x+3
y=5(-11/3) +3 =-55/3 +3 = (-55+9)/3 = -46/3

jhonyy9 · Answer

ok ?

anonymous · Answer

yes thank you!

jhonyy9 · Answer
