Algebra.Com's Answer #503433 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This could be easier if use substitution. Maybe first multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 15... you still might be able to use Elimination.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "One more step, multiply by 2 b.s. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I really am more interested in using Elimination Method.
