How do you solve 5x-2y=3 when -x+6y=-2

Question

I need help understanding this equation using elimination method

Answer 1

5x-2y=3

-x+6y=-2

 

y=-4+x

 

substitute y=-4+x into y in the equation 5x-2y=3

 

5x-2(-4+x)=3

 

solve for x

 

once you solve for x you can solve for y. If you still need help let me know.
