Question

how do i solve this system of equations 4x-3y=-16 and 3x+2y=5 using elimination.?

Answer 1

damn that was wrong, sorry
mutiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3

Answer 2

you get
\[8x-6y=-32\]\[9x+6y=15\] now add in a column and the \(y\)'s will be gone

Answer 3

you should get \(17x=-17\) and so \(x=-1\) now that you know \(x\) you can find \(y\) by replacing \(x\) by \(-1\) in either equation and solve for \(y\)

Answer 4
