Question

Solve this system of equations using the addition method.
-8x + 3y = -5
8x - 2y = 6 @mathstudent55

Answer 1

Since you have -8x in one equation and 8x in the other equation, and since -8x and 8x add up to zero, just add the equations. x will be eliminated, and you can solve for y.

Answer 2

cuz this is what i got for y i dont now if its correct 3y-2y=1y

Answer 3

Right, so the left side now has only 1y which is the same as y.
On the right side, you have -5 + 6. What is that equal to?

Answer 4

-5+6=1 am i right

Answer 5

and the what do i do after tht

Answer 6

yes, you're right
