-2(5) -4y = -16 Solve the system by elimination
Added by Belen F.
Step 1
We can then add 16 to both sides to isolate the variable: -10 -4y +16 = 0, which simplifies to -4y +6 = 0. Now we can divide both sides by -4 to solve for y: y = -6/4 or y = -3/2. To use elimination, we need another equation with the same variable. Let's say we Show more…
