Question

Solve the system of two equations in two variables.6x - 7y = 282x + 4y = -16

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

`\begin{gathered} 6x-7y=28 \\ 2x+4y=-16 \end{gathered}`

We intend to use the elimination method to solve it.

• Multiply the first equation by 2

,

• Multiply the second equation by 6

This gives us:

`\begin{gathered} 12x-14y=56 \\ 12x+24y=-96 \end{gathered}`

We eliminate x by subtracting.
