solve using elimination

Question

-2x+2y=6

4x+2y=-5

Answer 1

solve using elimination

-2x+2y=6

4x+2y=-5

Multiply the first equation by 2 and solve for y...

-4x + 4y = 12

4x + 2y = -5

6y = 7

y = 7/6

Substitute the y value into one of the original equations and solve for x...

-2x + 2(7/6) = 6

-2x + 14/6 = 36/6

-2x = 22/6

x = -11/6

SOLUTION: {-11/6, 7/6}
