Question

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

Answer 1

x=-7/9, y=4/3. (-7/9, 4/3).

Explanation:

6x+2y=-2

3x-2y=-5

-----------------

9x=-7

x=-7/9

6(-7/9)+2y=-2

-42/9+2y=-2

2y=-2-(-42/9)

2y=-2+42/9

2y=-18/9+42/9

2y=24/9

y=(24/9)/2

y=(24/9)(1/2)

y=24/18

y=4/3
