Question 372955: I am great at math but for some reason can not wrap my brain around Algebra for the world! Please Help!! Im stumped!
Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
-3x � 5y = 61
7x � 5y = -9
Answer by kac123kac(8) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Multiply one of the equations by -1. I'll do that to the first one to show you.
-1(-3x-5y=61) turns into...
3x+5y=-61
7x-5y=-9
Now just add straight down.
10x + 0y = -70
Now divide each side by 10.
x = -7
