ajprincess · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

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

anonymous · Answer

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)
