Question

ALGEBRA 2, PLEASE HELP ME Solve the system using elimination 2x + 3y = 5 8y = x + 26 Show steps please, I dont understand!

Answer 1

2x+3y=5-------I
x-8y=-26-------II
then multiply the second equation by (-2)
2x+3y=5-------I
-2x+16y=52-------II
-------------------------- now find the sum of these two equations with each other
0x+19y=57====== y=57/19 therefore y=3
and now substitiue the [y] value the either of equations and and find x
X-(8x3)=-26 -------- finally X= -26+24=
X=-2
