Eliminate the y in the following system of equations. What is the result when you add the two equations?
3x - 2y = 8
x + y = 6

Respuesta :

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=8

x+y=6

multiply second equation by 2 so you can eliminate y

2(x+y)=2(6)

2x+2y=12

now add two equations together

first equation:                          3x-2y=8

modified second equation     2x+2y=12

added together eliminates y. 5x+0=20

                                                   X=4
