Question

Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method. 2x+6y=10 -3x+1y=5

PLEASE

Answer 1

x = -1

y = 2

Explanation:

2x + 6y = 10

-3x + 1y = 5

Time the second equation by -6

2x + 6y = 10

18x - 6y = -30

20x = -20

x = -1

Now put in -1 for x and solve for y

2(-1) + 6y = 10

-2 + 6y = 10

6y = 12

y = 2

Let's Check

2(-1) + 6(2) = 10

-2 + 12 = 10

10 = 10

So, x = -1 and y = 2 is the correct answer.
