Question

Solve the following system of equations using elimination (addition)

5x - 6y = - 32

3x + 6y = 48

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

y = 6 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 6y = -32

3x + 6y = 48

-----------------

8x = 16

x = 2

5(2) - 6y = 48

10 - 6y = 48

-6y = 48 - 10

-6y = 38

y = 6 1/3
