anonymous · Answer

Showing work that's what I got but I'm not sure. Can somebody please correct me?
5(6x-2y)=5(12)
6(-5x+9)=6(56)

30x-10y=60 
-30x+54=336

Solve for the y, you can see you have 30x and -30x, so it will get cancelled out and now you can solve for y and afterwards you can pick any of the following equations and plug the y in to the get the corresponding x value.

ok so we start with:
5(6x-2y)=5(12)
6(-5x+9)=6(56)
Now lets distribute the 5 in the first equation and 6 in the second equation. 
30x-10y=60
-30x+54= 336
So we already have a variable we can eliminate here. When we add the second equation to the first we get:
30x+ (-30x) - 10y+54= 336+60
Do you know what to do next?
