Question

Solve the system of equations.

x + 3y = −1
2x + 2y = 6

Answer 1

x + 3y = −1
2x + 2y = 6
Use elimination
-2x-6y=2
2x+2y=6
-2x and 2x cancel each other out.
-4y=8
y=-2

Answer 2

ohh that makes sense

Answer 3

plug in y=-2 into one of the equations, and solve for x.
x+3(-2)=-1
x-6=-1
x=5

Answer 4

check (5, -2)
2(5) + 2(-2)= 6
10-4=6
6=6

Answer 5

thank you so much!! :)

Answer 6

sure
