Question

Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair; example: (4, -5)

2x+6y=-8
5x-3y=88

Answer 1

( 14, - 6) is what i got

Answer 2

If u multiply the second equation what do u get? @Ro_05

Answer 3

multiply 2 to the second equation that way you have 10x - 6y = 176 , then add the two equations together.

Answer 4

@Poetrylover what u got is right. it would be really better if u show the work.:)

Answer 5

sorry
2x +6y = -8
2(5x - 3y) = 2(88)

2x+6y=-8
10x-6y=176

12x=168
/12 /12
x=14

plug in x
2(14) +6y=-8
28+6y=-8
-28 -28
6y=-36
/6 /6
y=-6
(14, -6)

Answer 6

that's k:)
