Solve the system of equations by elimination. Express the solution as an ordered pair.



−5x−2y=−12
3x+2y=8
Answered by oobleck
just add the two equations to eliminate y.
-2x = -4
now finish it up

Add the two equations.

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2 to find x, then put that value in either original equation to find y.
