Fan and MEDAL to the person who helps answer this

solve this system of equations algebraically, then demonstrate graphically that your results are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{10x+4y=24 {-6x-4y=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elimination method would be great to use on this equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes ^^ Add the equations. 10x + -6x 4y + -4y 24 + 8 What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the 4's would cancel themselvs out. then you have 4x=32. then solve for x. when you get x plug it back into the first or second equation at the top and get y. then you will have (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.. 10x + -6x = 4x 4y + -4y = 0 24 + 8 = 32 That leaves us with: 4x = 32 Divide 32 / 4. @Frazfootballa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the answer 8? @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there will be two answers so. 10x+4y=24 -6x-4y=8 4x=32 x=8 then plug x into the first or second equation so. 10(8)+4y=24 80+4y=24 -80 -80 4y= -56 y= -14 (8, -14)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow i get you @LittleBowWow thats so smart !! thank you very very much for your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so 'x' is 8.. Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations and solve for 'y': 10x + 4y = 24 10(8) + 4y = 24 80 + 4y = 24 Subtract 80 to both sides: 4y = -56 Now can you divide -56 / 4?
