Question 248391
5x+2y=-11
7x-3y=17
To solve by the elimination method (not the substitution method) we add, subtract multiply or divide one whole equation to remove either x or y (eliminate x or y)
I suggest multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second by 2 and adding them
5x+2y=-11
by 3
15x+6y=-33

7x-3y=17
15x+6y=-33
14x-6y=34
add them
29x=1
x=1/29
plug that in
