Question

PLEASE

5x - 4y = 14
x - 2y = -2

Answer 1

We need to get one of the variables in the bottom equation to be the same as the equation on top.
Which variable do you want to do first?

Answer 2

5?

Answer 3

Ok, the top equation stays the same.
5x-4y=14
but the bottom equation is multiplied by -5.
-5(x-2y=-2) which is -5x+10y=10

Which gives us
5x-4y=14
-5x+10y=10

Answer 4

OMG youre perf

Answer 5

The two would cancel, which would give
-4y=14
10y=10

But it occurs to me that there is an easier way to do this... :| oops... lol

Answer 6

i love you

Answer 7

5x - 4y = 14
x - 2y = -2

I would do this,
x=2y-2

5(2y-2)-4y=14
10y-10-4y=14
6y-10=14
6y=24
y=4

Then you would take that, and plug it back into an equation to get the answer.

Answer 8

Think you can handle that?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Coolio!
