multiply one (or both) equation(s)
... to get the coefficients of one variable to match
then subtract the equations to eliminate the variable
{7x-2y=37}
{4x+y=19}
multiplying the 2nd equation by -2 ... -8x - 2y = - 38
subtracting equations (to eliminate y) ... 7x - -8x = 37 - -38 ... 15x = 75
solve for x , then substitute back to find y
Can anyone help me with my homework its called Solving Systems by elimination... i was able to do a few but there they are
Q1:{7x-2y=37}
{4x+y=19}
Q2:{3x+8y=-5}
{-2x+2y=18}
Q3:{x-3y=7}
{2x-6y=12}
Q4:{2x+y=-2}}
{5x+3y=-8}
Q5:{2x+5y=14}
{4x+2y=-4}
