Question

2x-3y=-24
x+6y=18

Answer 1

What do you need to do?

Answer 2

Apparently solve for each variable in the system of equations... what you should do is multiply eq #2 by -2 and start to cancel the x to solve for y :)

Answer 3

y=4

Answer 4

x=6

Answer 5

At least that is what I think, from what I remember.

Answer 6

2x-3y=-24
x +6y=18 (-2)
you get a new system:
2x-3y=-24
-2x-12y=-36

Answer 7

notice that the x value cancels :) and you're left with one variable y in combined equation
