Question

Explain, in complete sentences, how you would use the elimination method to solve the following system of equations. Provide the solution to the system.
6x - 5y = 4

9x + 4y = -17

Answer 1

homework ? o.O

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

6x - 5y = 4 (1)
9x + 4y = -17 (2)

multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2 and add the 2 equations to eliminate x

18x - 15y = 12
-18x - 8y = 34
---------------
-23y = 46

divide by -23 gives y = -2

substitute into equation 1 to find x

6x - 4(-2) = 4

just evaluate

Answer 4

oops equation 2 by -2 and add

Answer 5

sorry i really suck at math what do you mean evaluate
