Let's explain with an example: 2x - 7y = 11 5x + 7y = 3 To solve this system of equations by elimination we "add" the second equation to the first equation. So basically: 2x + 5x - 7y + 7y = 11 + 3 Which then symplifies to: 7x = 14 and x = 2 Then plug x = 2 into the original equation: 5(2) + 7y = 3 Which leads to: y = -1 So the solution is (2,-1).

What is the following system of equations by using the elimination method. -4x - 2y -12 4x plus 8y -24?

To solve the system of equations using the elimination method, first rewrite the equations: (-4x - 2y = 12) (4x + 8y = 24) Next, add the two equations to eliminate (x): [ (-4x + 4x) + (-2y + 8y) = 12 + 24 \implies 6y = 36 ] Solving for (y) gives (y = 6). Substitute (y) back into one of the original equations to find (x). Using the first equation: (-4x - 2(6) = 12 \implies -4x - 12 = 12 \implies -4x = 24 \implies x = -6). The solution to the system is (x = -6) and (y = 6).
