Question

Solve by Elimination method. -4x+5y=26 2x-9y=-26 Type a response

Answer 1

-4x+5y=26

2x-9y=-26

we multiply the 2nd equation by 2

--->2(2x-9y)=-26)

--->4x-18y=-52

we rewrite the system

-4x+5y=26

4x-18y=-52

--->-13y=-26

y=2

we calculate x:

-4x+5y=26

-4x+5*2=26

-4x=26-10

x=-16/4=-4

solutions (-4;2)
