Question 220706
To use the elimination method, add the two equations togehter:
  5x+6y=-13
+ 8x-6y=-52
  ---------
  13x=-65
Solve for x:
{{{highlight(x=-5)}}}
Plug this value in to either of the equations and get y:
{{{5(-5)+6y=-13}}}
{{{-25+6y=-13}}}
{{{6y=12}}}
{{{highlight(y=2)}}}
================
Good Luck,
