Question

Solve each system by elimination: -6x-y=-17 -2x-3y=-3

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the 2nd equation (-2x-3y=-3) times -3 to eliminate x

Subtract/add the other terms -y + 9y and -17 + 9

Then divide 8y = 8

y= -1

Substitute y in the other equation

x = 3

(3, -1)

Answer 2

Answer:

Point Form: ( 3 , − 1 )

Equation Form: x = 3 , y = − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the equations in order to solve for the first variable. Plug this value into the other equations in order to solve for the remaining variables.
