Algebra question need help ASAPPlease help me solve this eliminating algebra 1 question: Solve by eliminating. 2x-3y=61 2x+y=-7 Please also show how u got the answer, in short please show ur word!!!!!!! Thanks
You can solve it using the elimination method: 2x -3y = 61 2x +y = -7 * (-1) 2x -3y = 61 -2x -y = +7 The x will disappear: -4y = 68 y = 68/-4 y = -17 With Y value, use it on either equation: 2x + (-17) = -7 2x = -7 + 17 2x = 10 x = 10/2 x = 5
