4x-5y=-34.......eq 1
2x-3y=-22.......eq 2
:
multiply eq 2 by -2 and then add the equations together
:
4x-5y=-34.....eq 1
-4x+6y=44.....eq 2 revised
:
the x terms are eliminated because 4x-4x=0. We are left with -5y+6y=-34+44
:
y=10
:
take y's found value and plug it into any equation and solve for x. I will use eq 2
:
2x-3(10)=-22
:
2x=8
:
x=4
