Question

solve using the elimination method. find orderd pair.

x-2y=12
4x+2y=8

callisto · Answer

Add the first equation and the second equation eliminate y. Can you do it?

anonymous · Answer

x-2y = 12
4x + 2y = 8

5x = 20 then divide both sides by 5 to get x

substitute the value of x to any of the two equation for the value of y

*kindly see if i'm correct , if im not sorry :)

anonymous · Answer

let x-2y=12 be equation one.
let 4x+2y=8 be equation two.
since the numerical coefficients of 'y' are the same, and both of them have opposite signs, we add equation one and two.
