Question

Use the elimination method to solve the given system of equations 1-x+ y = -16 1x+2y = 4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of linear equations:

`\begin{gathered} 1-x+y=-16 \\ 1x+2y=4​ \end{gathered}`

Rearrange the first equation:

`\begin{gathered} -x+y=-16-1 \\ \implies-x+y=117 \end{gathered}`

The system of equation now gives:
