Using elimination, what is the solution of the system? 5x – 6y = -32 3x + 6y = 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add the two equations together, what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x = -80?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-32+48=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we have 8x=16 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so now that you have x plug it into one of the original equations and solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 7 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes
