I dont see any equations.

But to solve by the elimination method you have to make one variable eliminated. Ill show an example. Im not an expert so the varaible will probably not come out as whole numbers.

4x+6y=18

7x+y=24

To eliminated one o the variables multiply by the proper number to the whole equation. Multiply the bottom euqations by -6

4x+6y=18

-42x-6y=-144

Now add the equations top down...

-38x = -126

x = -126/-38

x = 3.315

Now solve for y by plugging x into one of the euqations.

4(3.315)+6y=18

y=0.2262

As I said before im not an expert and these answers are ugly. But this is how you do it. Make sure you take your time and dont make dumb mistakes like simple adding or subtracting mistakes.
