Solve using elimination. 5x - y = 0 3x + y = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some process. When you see -y and y, by adding you can tell they will cancel out. Add the two equations.

OpenStudy (stormoshawty):

8y = 24 y=3

OpenStudy (stormoshawty):

oops. i meant x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, so now plug that x in for an equation.

OpenStudy (stormoshawty):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have x = 3 3(3) + y = 24 9 + y = 24 y = 15 So x = 3 and y = 15
