Answer:

Let's solve by eliminating x. Since 18 is the lowest common multiple , let's multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by -2.

18x−21y=24

−18x+10y=−2

Add the two equations.

−11y=22

Divide by -11 to isolate y.

y=−2

Substitute y=−2 into either of the 2 equations, I'll just use the second one.

9x+10=1

9x=−9

x=−1

Step-by-step explanation: that is your anwser
