Solve this problem by using elimination: 2x-3y=61 and 2x+y=-7

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Solution:

  1. 2x –  =y=61
  2. 2x +   y= -7

If you subtract the second equation from the first, you can eliminate x and you are left with -4y = 68.

So y =3D -17, and plugging this into the first equation we can figure out

y:  2x = (-51)=61,

so x = 5
