Question

Solve the system by the elimination method.
2x + 3y - 10 = 0
4x - 3y - 2 = 0
When you eliminate y, what is the resulting equation?

Answer 1

     2x+3y-10=0    (1)
+
     4x-3y-2=0       (2)
    ____________
     6x    -12=0      (if you just want the resulting equation. It is 6x-12=0)
               x=2 
take x=2 and put it into equation (2)
4(2) -3y -2=0
-3y= 2-8 
   y= 2
(x=2,y=2)
