2x + y = 7 5x + y = 9 Solve the system of equations.

OpenStudy (uri):

2x + y = 7 5x + y = 9 Add them and get the value of x.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

multiply the top by a -1, then add the two equations and that should help you solve for x

OpenStudy (rmrjr22):

you have to get x or y by itself... to do this you need to make one variable cancel out the other. So you multiply one or both of the equations by a -1 or 2 or -3... anything that works
