can you walk me through it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I cant really remember the steps , i learned it awhile ago...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well this is how i learned it
for instance on this problem
5x-2y=14 2x-y=5
5x-2(2x-5)=14 -2x -2x
5x-4x+10=14 -y=-2x+5
x+10=14 --- --- ---
-10 -10 -1 -1 -1
x=4 y=2x-5
2(4)-y=5
8-y=5
-8 -8
-y=-3
-- --
-1 -1
y=3
ANSWER: (4,3)
but i keep getting a wacky answer.
