×+4y=16 -×+5y=11
Are you told to solve these for the variables x and y?
x+4y=16 -x+5y=11 Since 4y does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4y from both sides. x=-4y+16 -x+5y=11 Since the equation was solved for x, replace all occurrences of x in the other equations with the solution (-4y+16). x=-4y+16 -(-4y+16)+5y=11 Multiply -1 by each term inside the parentheses. x=-4y+16 (4y-16)+5y=11 Since 4y and 5y are like terms, add 5y to 4y to get 9y. x=-4y+16 9y-16=11 Move all terms not containing y to the right-hand side of the equation. x=-4y+16 9y=27 Since the equation was solved for y, replace all occurrences of y in the other equations with the solution (3). x=-4y+16 y=3 Since the equation was solved for y, replace all occurrences of y in the other equations with the solution (3). x=-4(3)+16 y=3 Multiply -4 by each term inside the parentheses. x=-12+16 y=3 Add 16 to -12 to get 4. x=4 y=3 This is the solution to the system of equations. x=4 y=3 (4, 3) Hope this helps. :)
