Question

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
a+6b=5
a+3b=-1

Answer 1

You would multiply the bottom equation by -1 to get rid of the "a's". Then add the two equations together and solve for b:)

Answer 2

So!
a+6b=5
-a-3b=1
That would cancel out the "a's":)

Answer 3

so a=-7
and b=2??
