solve equation

Question

-2x+5y=-1

3x+2y=11

Answer 1

Let's try the Elimination Method. We can multiply the top equation by 3, and the bottom equation by 2. This gives us:

 

-6x + 15y = -3

 6x + 4y = 22

 

If we add those two together, we get:

 

19y = 19

 

y = 1

 

Now that we have found y, I will leave it up to you to find x, Kathryn.
