Question 408271: Can someone please help?
Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this. Please show all work.
x + 9y = -26
-2x + 4y = -36
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + 9y = -26
-2x + 4y = -36
-----------------------
Divide thru the 2nd equation by 2:
x + 9y = -26
-x + 2y = -18
---------------------
Add to get:
11y = -44
y = -4
---
Solve for "x":
x + 9y = -26
x -36 = -26
x = 10
