Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

Negative 6 x minus two-fifths y = 8
One-half x + 3 y = 29

Answer 1

Answer: -3 2/5y=2 1/2x=29

Explanation:

6x-2/5y=8 1/2x+3y=29

Separate into two equations

6x-2/5y=8 1/2x+3y

-6x -6x

-2/5y=2 1/2x+3y

-3y -3y

-3 2/5y =2 1/2x

Keep 29 as is

Answer 2

x = -2

y = 10
