Question

Solve for x by using the elimination method

Answer 1

Explanation:

you can see from the picture that adding 2y and -2y cancels out. So the remaining parts of the equations are

-10x=-32

-2x=-16

add the two together:

-12x=-48

x=4

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

the ones on top of each other you are adding together so -10x + -2x equals -12x and -32+-16 equals -48 and -48 divided by -12x equals positive 4
