I need your help figuring out how to solve
4x+3y=4 and
6x-6y=-1 by elimination
-------------------
Multiply thru the 1st Eq by 2 to get:
8x + 6y = 8
Add that to the 2nd equation to get:
14x = 7
x = 1/2
--------------------
Substitute that into 4x + 3y = 4
4(1/2) + 3y = 4
2 + 3y = 4
3y = 2
y = 2/3
--------------
Solution: (1/2 , 2/3)
