Question

What is the result of adding these two equations?
6x + 2y = -2
3x - 2y = -5​

Answer 1

`9x=-7`.

Explanation:

The given system is

6x + 2y = -2

3x - 2y = -5​

We add the two equations to get:

`6x+3x+2y+-2y=-2+-5`

This simplifies to:

`9x+0=-7`

`9x=-7`..... This is the result of adding the two terms.

The y terms get eliminated after adding the two equations
