plz help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you multiply the second with -1; and sum the 2 equations; you will get -4x= -16 x= 4; and after substitute in one of the equation you will get y = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz explain the work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see that the second one and first one have 4y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to remove y's from the equation I just multiply with -1 and sum the two equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply the second with -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum the 2 equations you will get -4x = -16
