Question 961713: I have been trying to do this problem for 45 min and can't seem to get it. I'm solving by addition and i've tried to the variable but to no avail. If you could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
The problem is:
4y=3x-13
6x+5y=52
I rewrote the problem to look like this:
3x-4y=13
6x+5y=52
But when I try to isolate a variable x or y my answer is wrong.

How about ?
Double it .
Now substitute into the second equation,

Take it from there.
Solve for y.
Then go back and solve for x.

You have a good start. Now take the equation you re-wrote and multiply all sides times -2:
3x-4y=13
= -6x+8y= -26 Now add:
6x+5y = 52
+-6x+8y=-26
--------------
13y= 26; y= 2
Now we solve for x:
3x-4(2)= 13
3x-8= 13
3x= 21
x= 7
Let's see if we're right, let's plug these numbers into the other equation:
6(7)+5(2)= 52
42+10=52 We've got the right answer.
