Question

6x-3y=12
4x-3y=24
Elimination Please Help

Answer 1

x = -6

y = -16

Explanation:

if you subtract the two equations from each other then the 'y' terms will be eliminated:

2x = -12

x = -6

solve for 'y':

4(-6) - 3y = 24

-24 - 3y = 24

-3y = 48

y = -16

Answer 2

6x-3y=12
4x-3y=24

2x=-12
x=-6

6(-6)-3y=12
-36-3y=12
-3y=48
y=-16

Answer: x=-6, y=-16
