Question 1125259

Hello, can you please assist me with Solving these problems "Using Elimination" in Algebra 2? Thank you very much

1. -2x + 3y = 25
   -2x + 6y = 58



2. 8x + 13y = 179
   2x - 13y = -69



3. 2x + 7y = -7
   5x + 7y = 14


4. 6x + 3y = 0
  -3x + 3y = 9


5. 3x - 8y = 32
   -x + 8y = -16


6.  5x + 7y = -1
    4x - 2y = 22
<pre>For #s 1 - 5, ALL you have to do is either ADD the 2 equations or SUBTRACT one from the other. IGNORE the NOVEL that was written, as a NOVEL is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. This was FAR more than OVERKILL!
I hope for your sake that you didn't look at it. No. 6 is the only one that's a little more difficult than the others.
