Solve the system of equations using elimination by addition or by augmented matrix methods (your choice).
3x + y = −1
6x + 4y = 2
Would you kindly include the solution? Thanks.


   3x +  y = - 1______eq (i)

   6x + 4y =   2______eq (ii)

- 12x - 4y =   4______Multiplying eq (i) by - 4______eq (iii)

-  6x      =   6______Adding eqs (iii) & (ii)

    x      = - 1

Substitute - 1 for x in either eq (i) or (ii) to obtain the value of y



Then do a check!! 



If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
