take y term to left hand side for second equation

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{-6x-4y=10\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ x+2y=9\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\) see ih that makes sense first

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

then we need to make any one coefficient same of any variable and eliminate them

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{-6x-4y=10-------(1)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ x+2y=9--------------(2)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ \normalsize \text{multplying eqn 2 by 2}\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ 2x+4y=18--------------(2)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ \normalsize \text{now adding eqn 1 and eqn 2}\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ -6x-4y=10-------(1)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ 2x+4y=18--------------(2)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\~\\~\\ -6x-4y+2x+4y=10+18\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ -4x=28\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ x=-\dfrac{28}{4}\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ x=-7\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

put \(x=-7\) in eqn (2)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{ x+2y=9--------------(2)\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ -7+2y=9\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ +2y=9+7\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ 2y=16\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ y=16/2\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ y=8\hspace{1.5em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\)
