Question

How do you use elimination to solve the system of equations given by `3x-2y=10` and `5x+2y=6`?

Answer 1

From first one, `2y=3x-10`

Hence, `5x+3x-10=6` or `8x=16`. So `x=2`.

Thus, `2y=3*2-10` or `2y=-4`. So `y=-2`.

Explanation:

I found `2y` from first equation and put into second one.
