Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
4x – 8y = 48
11x + 3y = -105.5
-----------------
The 1st eqn is x - 2y = 12
----------
x - 2y = 12
11x + 3y = -105.5
-----------------
Multiply the 1st eqn by 3 and the 2nd by 2. Add them, eliminate the y terms.
etc.
