Question

Solve by using elimination.

-6 = -6y - 12x
-8y = 10x - 24

I got (-3.5,8)

Answer 1

Hello. We worked together about an hour ago. But then it seemed that you just disappeared without a 'thank you' or 'good bye.' What happened?

Which method did you use to solve this problem?

Answer 2

I am sorry. My internet kept on crashing on me, so I just left it. But thank you so much for your help.

I used elimination as the question asked for me to do.

Answer 3

6y = -12x + 6
8y = 10x - 24

8(6y = -12x + 6)
-6(8y = 10x - 24)

48y = -96x + 48
-48y = -60x + 144

?

Answer 4

blackstreet's approach is right on target, so I will leave you two to work together.

Answer 5

my equations were
-6 + 12x = -6y
-24 + 10x = -8y

Answer 6

yeah i just moved them around

Answer 7

(-6 + 12x = -6y)-5
(-24 + 10x = -8y)6

30 - 60x = 30y
-144 + 60x = -48y
-114 = -18y
8 = y

Answer 8

ohh alright seems you know how to do it lol

Answer 9

did you get x= -3.5?

Answer 10

48y = -96x + 48
-48y = -60x + 144

(96-60) x + 144 + 48 = 0

36x = -192

x = 5.333

Answer 11

x = -5.3333333

Answer 12

ok i will check out what my mistake was. thank you :)

Answer 13

No problem :)
