Question

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable

in the system of equations?
х
2y = 11
5x + 3y = -11

Answer 1

X= -5.5, but I’m not sure

Answer 2

x=-5.5 y=5.5

Explanation:

The elimination or substitution would help.

2y=11

y=11/2

5x+3(11/2)=-11

5x+16.5=-11

-16.5

5x=-27.5

x=-5.5
