imqwerty · Answer

try doing this->multiply the 1st equation by 2 and add both of them

You can also graph the two equations. The point of intersection is the solution to the system https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xfkgtqxlj9

i got B

anonymous · Answer

olve the first equation for y: 

y = (6 - 2x) 

substitute in equation 2... 

- 4x + 3(6 - 2x) = 8 
- 4x + 18 - 6x = 8 
- 10x = - 10 
x = 1  
1,4 
correct @imqwerty ?
