I can figure out how to use elimination here. I tried but I didn't do it right.

13x + 10y = 203 26x + 18y = 394
How do you use elimination to find the point of intersection?
Answered by oobleck
13x + 10y = 203
26x + 18y = 394
multiply the 1st equation by 2 and subtract the 2nd, and you have
2y = 12
and the x has been eliminated.

Wait so you're suposed to subtract the problem?
Answered by Cunfushun
I was taught to add them.... THAT'S WHY I NEVER GOT IT RIGHT!
Answered by oobleck
well, I guess you could multiply by -2 and then add. Same "difference" in the "sun" total, yeah?
