Question

-24-8x=-12
1+5/9y=-7/18x
I need help with system of elimination!!

Answer 1

Elimination is the process when you eliminate numbers to solve for x and y....so, lets solve! :)

Answer 2

so i think first you need rewrite these equations in standard form

Answer 3

ok.. so we would need to get both x and y on the same side of the equation, right? so after putting the equation in standard form it would read.. 7/18x+5/9y=1 and -8x=-36? sorry i type really slow when imthinking :p :)

Answer 4

I would first start by multiplying times some number that would get rid of fractions in the second equation.

Answer 5

so by 9?

Answer 6

I'm really lost.. I can do this really well with regular numbers.. but fractions are harder
