Answer:

At the bottom!

Explanation:

Put the two equations into the same standard form:

2x-y=8

-5x+2y=3

Now if you add the two equations up, guess what will happen?

You will "eliminate" the y variable, and only be left with the x variable.

Technically, you will get:

2x-y+2+28-5x+29+2y=8+23

-3x+20y=11

-3x=11
