2x+ 4y =16 -2x- 3y = -6 solve this system of equations using the elimination method

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 16.

-2x - 3y = -6

Add both equation ;

Therefore , y = 10

Substitute the value of y in the first equation

2x + 4 = 16

2 x + 4 × (10) = 16

2x + 40 = 16

subtract 40 from both side

2x + 40 - 40 = 16 - 40

2x = - 24

divide each side by 2

2x/ 2 = - 24 / 2

x = - 12

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem
