Question

-62 + 18y = 264
-12x - 36y = 130


What solution is this

Answer 1

Answer: x =
`-(391)/(6) =\\-65 (1)/(6)\\ -65.166666667\\y=(163)/(9)=18(1)/(9) \\18.111111111`

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply -36 and 163/9 to get -652. Add 652 to both sides then add 130 and 652 to get 782. Divide both sides by -12 then reduce the fraction 782/-12 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2. The system is now solved.
