Question

Solve the linear system using elimination.
Hello you guys.  I just want to know how you flip it.
2x - y= -11
y = -2x -13

mertsj · Answer

rewrite the second equation by adding 2x to both sides.

anonymous · Answer

for the second equation $$y=-2x-13$$ you already solved for y.
plug that y into the first equation, giving you$$2x-(-2x-13)=-11$$
