what is the linear combination method?
OpenStudy (danjs):
multiply the first equation by -2 and then add them resulting in a cancellation of the x's
OpenStudy (danjs):
+2 i mean
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then wat?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x+3y=11
-4x+2y=2
2x+3y=11
-2x+y=1
--------
4y=12
Y=3
Plug in
-2x+3=1
-2x=-2
X=1

Sorry this site is very slow,
Multiply the first equation by 2, then add them to cancel the g's
OpenStudy (danjs):
-8g + 10h = 8
8g + 10h = -4
----------------
0 + 20h = 4
so h = 4/20 = 1/5
OpenStudy (danjs):
put h=1/5 into any of the equations to get the value of g.
