Question

What is the result of adding these two equations?

\begin{aligned} 6x+2y &= -2 \\\\ 3x-2y &= -5 \end{aligned}

6x+2y=-2

3x−2y=-5

​



​

Answer 1

Explanation:

`6x+2y=-2`

`3x-2y=-5`

Add both equations. combine like terms

6x +3x becomes 9x

+2y -2y becomes 0

-2 and -5 becomes -7

so when we add both equations we get

`9x+0y=-7`

ignore 0y

`9x=-7`

By adding two equations we get 9x=-7

answer :
`9x=-7`
