You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve by elimination by addition.
6x - 5y = 33
4x + 4y = 44
:
Multiply the 1st equation by 4, multiply the 2nd equation by 5, resulting in:
24x - 20y = 132
20x + 20y = 220
------------------adding eliminates y, find x
44x = 1012
x =
x = 8
:
Find y using the 2nd original equation:
4(8) + 4y = 44
32 + 4y = 44
4y = 44 - 32
4y = 12
y =
y = 3
