Question

Looking for help please
Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
5u +2v = -18
3u + v = -8
What are the ordered pairs?

Answer 1

looks like u=-30 and v=82 just multiply the bottom equation by -2 then eliminate the v variable then solve for u once you get that then plug back in u into any equation then solve for v .though i think the to equation is wrong cause i keep plugin in and getting -14 instead of -18

Answer 2

i meant +14

Answer 3

yeah that wasn't right it was (-2,14)

so I have to try another similiar problem if you want to help me?
5u +3v = -18
2u + v = -8

Answer 4

sure
