Solve the linear system using elimination. 5x+y=14.95 3x+2y=22.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, first multiply the first equation by 2

OpenStudy (ineedhelpfast12):

shouldnt it be -2? to make the y's cancel out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya you can also do that

OpenStudy (ineedhelpfast12):

-10x-2y=-29.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good! Now add the two equations...

OpenStudy (ineedhelpfast12):

-7x=-6.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! solve for x...

OpenStudy (ineedhelpfast12):
