Solve the system using elimination.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will help if i see the question

hartnn (hartnn):

multiply 6 in 2nd equation so that u get 6x there also

hartnn (hartnn):

first add 6x to both sides of 1st equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8-6x=-7y 3=-6x+18/4y

hartnn (hartnn):

18/4 = ? and u didn't add 6x u can add that now also, in 1st equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u do that step for me i dont get it

hartnn (hartnn):

-8=6x-7y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what now?

hartnn (hartnn):

-8=6x-7y 3=-6x+(9/2)y now add these equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5=-5/2y

hartnn (hartnn):

-7+9/2 = -14+9 /2 = -5/2 yes, its correct :) so -5 = -(5/2) y y= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-(5/2)

hartnn (hartnn):

y= -5 * (-2/5) = +2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why +2

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge y=\frac{-2}{5}\times(-5)=-2\times(-1)=2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it:)

hartnn (hartnn):

now find x , put y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8-6x=-14 3=-x+6/4y

hartnn (hartnn):

-8-6x=-14 \(\checkmark\) try to isolate x

hartnn (hartnn):

add 8 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6x=-4

hartnn (hartnn):

-14+8=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol -6 sorry

hartnn (hartnn):

-6x=-6 x=?

hartnn (hartnn):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it? did we do it?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, we solved. x=1,y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool thx alot for sticking with me :D

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
