Answer:
The system of equations you want to be solved is not given. I would however give an example with which the method of elimination will be shown, and can be used in solving problems of the nature.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the system of equations:
x + y = 7 ................................(1)
2x - y = 8 ..............................(2)
To eliminate x:
First multiply (1) by 2 to have
2x + 2y = 14 ...........................(3)
Next, subtract (2) from (3) to have
3y = 6
y = 6/3 = 2
To eliminate y:
Add (1) and (2) to have
3x = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, (x, y) = (5, 2).
