Question 318336: Solve the following system of equations. Please show your work to receive full credit.
x - y = 16
2x + y = 2
Part 2:
Explain which method you chose to solve the system and why you felt it was the best choice. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The coefficients on the y-variables are already additive inverses, therefore use the elimination method. Add the two equations term-by-term and then solve the resulting single variable equation in x. The value for x so derived can be substituted back into either original equation to determine the value of y.
