You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need help with these "solve by elimination" questions PLEASE and THANK YOU 4x+5y=6
 3x-5y=22
 Add to get 7x = 28 ; x = 4, then solve for "y"::
 -------------------
 3x+4y=4
 3x+y=10
 Subtract to get 3y = -6; y = -2, then solve for "x"::
 ------------------
 -2x+y=-1
 3x=9-y
 Rearrange::
 -2x + y = -1
 3x +y = 9
 Subtract to get 5x = 10 ; x = 2, then solve for "y"::
 ------------------
 3x+2y=-5
 4x-3y=16
 -----
 Multiply top eq by 3 ; Multiply bottom equation by 2
 9x + 6y = -15
 8x - 6y =  32
 ---
 Add to get: 17x = 17 ; x = 1 , then solve for "y";;
