Question

how do you solve the system 4x + 3y = -1
3x + y = 3 in the elimination method

anonymous · Answer

$$4x+3y=−1$$
$$3x+y=3$$
multiply the second equation by 3 you get :
$$9x+3y=9$$
now you can eliminate the equations

anonymous · Answer

$$-5x=-10$$
you got $$x=2$$

anonymous · Answer

okay

anonymous · Answer
