Question

Solve this system by the addition method.
5x+y=26
x+5y=-14
Put answer in ordered pair form.

Answer 1

well what we can do is look for the slope so we need to subtract 5x and leave the y alone so y=-5x+26 so the slope is -5x

Answer 2

then we look for the y intercept so is like this

Answer 3

so now we know the first ordered pair (5.2,26)

Answer 4

now we do the same with the other equation

Answer 5

x+5y=-14 subtract x 5y=x-14 now we divide by 5 so we can find y
y=x/5-2.8
