Answer:
x = -2
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 5y = 28
-6x + 4y = 44
First you want to add both the equations together
-6x + 6x = 0
5y + 4y = 9y
28 + 44 = 72
9y = 72
Now divide 9y into 72
72 / 9 = 8
Now you have y. lets solve for x.
using either one of the equations, lets use (6x +5y = 28) and lets make y = 8
6x + (5 * 8) = 28
6x + 40 = 28
Subtract 40 into 28
6x + 40 = 28
- 40 -40
6x = -12
Divide 6 into -12
-12 / 6 = -2
-2 = x
