Answer:
(-2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
4x + 5y = 2
-2x + 2y = 8
To solve using elimination, we can multiply the second equation by 2 to try and get rid of the x. So...
4x + 5y = 2
-4x + 4y = 16
Now, add...
9y = 18
Divide by 9...
y = 2
Now, let's solve for x...
4x + 5(2) = 2
4x + 10 = 2
4x = -8
x = -2
Your solution is, (-2,2)
I hope this helps :)
