Question

Solve the following system using elimination tech
-8x-10y=24
6x+5y=2

Answer 1

x = 7

y = -8

replace x by value in function of y in equation 2 to compute y then compute x

Answer 2

x=5, y=-5.6

Explanation:

-8x-10y=24

6x+5y=2

-8x-10y=24

2(6x+5y=2)

-8x-10y=24

12x+10y=4

4x=20

x=5

6x+5y=2

6(5)+5y=2

5y=2-30

y=-28/5

y=-5.6
