Multiply the 2nd equation by 2. Then add the two equations term-by-term. You will find that the variable has been eliminated. Solve the resulting equation for , then substitute the calculated value for back into either of the original equations and solve the result for . Write back and share the ordered pair you discovered to be the single element of the solution set for this one.
