Question

Solve using elimination
5x - 6y = -32
3x + 6y = 48​

Answer 1

x=2, y = 7.

As an ordered pair the solution is (2, 7).

Explanation:

5x - 6y = -32

3x + 6y = 48​

Adding the 2 equations, we eliminate the terms in y:

8x +0 = 16

x = 16/8 = 2.

Now substitute x = 2 in the first equation:

5(2) - 6y = -32

10 + 32 = 6y

6y = 42

y = 7.

Answer 2

X = 2

Y=7
