Find the solution to the system of equations given below using elimination by addition.
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 2y = -45
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 8y = -15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by -1, results
\n" ); document.write( "Find the solution to the system of equations given below using elimination by addition.
\n" ); document.write( "-5x - 2y = +45
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 8y = -15
\n" ); document.write( "------------------adding eliminates x, find y
\n" ); document.write( "0x + 6y = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"30%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find y using substitution in one of the original equations
\n" ); document.write( "Check it in the other original equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
