Question 80277
-9x+2y=2
+6x+8y=-6
----------
Plan to get rid of the y terms so you can solve for "x".
--------------
Multiply the 1st equation by 4 to get:
-36x+8y=8
---------
Subtract that from the 2nd equation to get:
42x=-14
x=-1/3
----------
Substitute that back into one of the earlier equations to solve for "y".
6x+8y=-6
6*(-1/3)+8y=-6
-2 + 8y = -6
8y = -4
y=-1/2
-----------
Solution x=-1/3 ; y=-1/2
