algebra elimination- 13x+8y=-2 and 2x+y=-1

Sagot :

Answer:

x=-6/29

y=-17/29

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the system of equations

-13x+8y=-2  ------> equation 1

2x+y=-1 ------> equation 2

Solve by elimination

step 1

Multiply equation 2 by -8 on both sides

-8[2x+y=-1 ] ---------> -16x-8y=8 ------> equation 3

step 2

Adds equation 1 and equation 3

-13x+8y=-2

-16x-8y=8

-----------------

-29x=6

x=-6/29

Find out the value of y

substitute the value of x in any equation

2x+y=-1

2(-6/29)+y=-1

-12/29+y=-1

y=-1+(12/29)

y=-17/29

therefore

The answer is

x=-6/29

y=-17/29
