solutions by multiplication and addition
.
Given:
x - y = 0
6x + 5y = -22
.
We start by "multiplying" both sides of the top equation by 5:
5x - 5y = 0
6x + 5y = -22
.
Then, we "add" both equations together:
5x - 5y = 0
6x + 5y = -22
--------------
11x = -22
x = -2
.
To find y, we plug the above into:
x - y = 0
-2 -y = 0
-y = 2
y = -2
.
answer: (x,y) = (-2, -2)
