Question

Solve by multiplication and addition. Show each step of your work.

4x – 3y = 11
3x + y = 18

Answer 1

basically eliminate
try eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 3
9x+3y=54

add to other equation
4x-3y=11
9x+3y=54 +
13x+0y=65


13x=65
divide 13 both sides
x=5

sub back
3x+y=18
3*5+y=18
15+y=18
minus 15
y=3

x=5
y=3
(5,3)
