You can put this solution on YOUR website! remember this!
now plug the value for 2x from the equation above into this equation
and x is gone. You can solve for y now if you wish, but the problem only asked you to eliminate x
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add the two equations together
-2x + 2x + y + y + 6 - 8 = 0
The resulting equation is
2y - 2 = 0
...
Solving for y
2y = 2
y = 1
