Question

PLEASE HELP

What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations?
5x − 3y = −11
2x − 6y = −14

1) -1
2)0
3)1
4)2

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

I will solve this problem, using the elimination method.

-2(5x - 3y) = -11

-10x + 6y = 22

2x - 6y = -14

Subtract and divide for x

-8x = 8

x = -1

Input -1 into the equations

2(-1) - 6y = -14

-6y - 2 = -14

-6y = -12

y = 2

Thanks!
