Question

Solve the system using elimination. -2x+6y=18 -4x-6y=18

Answer 1

Answer:

(-6,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+6y=18

-4x-6y=18

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

-2x+6y=18

-4x-6y=18

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

-6x   = 36

Divide each side by -6

-6x/-6 = 36/-6

x = -6

Now we need to find y

-2x +6y = 18

-2(-6) +6y = 18

12 +6y = 18

Subtract 12 from each side

12-12 +6y = 18-12

6y = 6

Divide by 6 on each side

6y/6 = 6/6

y = 1

Answer 2

Line each equation up and add together
