Answer 3

A) x+2y=23
B) 6x+3y=98

Multiply equation A by -6 then add to B
A) -6x -12y = -138
B) 6x+3y=98

-9y = -40

y = -40 / -9

y = 4.4444444444

Think you can figure out x now ?

Answer 4

There are two ways for solving linear equations in two unknowns like this, the first method is substitution, and the second method is elimination which is demonstrated above.

Answer 5

Since Wolf has already demonstrated the substitution method, please now try the method of elimination by addition/subtraction.

Write out 6x + 3y = 98, as is.

Now take the other equation and multiply every term in it by -6.

Combine your result with 6x + 3y = 98. (Here, "combine" involves subtraction.)
