Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

\[-5x=-10\]
you got \[x=2\]

Answer 3

so you subtract the two problems from each other?

Answer 4

Exactly

Answer 5

do it urself u reterd

Answer 6

okay thank you

Answer 7

@Jescy21 but make sure that both of equations are ready for subtraction, okay

Answer 8

how do I make sure both equations are ready @AntarAzri

Answer 9

when you can elimiate one of the unknown term by substracting the equations

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

see first response by AntarAzri
