Equation 1) 10x - 6y = 54
Equation 2) -4x + 3y = -24
Multiply equation 2 by 2.
2) 2(-4x + 3y = -24)
2) -8x + 6y = -48
1) 10x - 6y = 54
Add equations together.
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 3
Plug in 3 for x in equation 1.
10x - 6y = 54
10(3) - 6y = 54
Simplify.
30 - 6y = 54
Subtract 30 from both sides.
-6y = 24
Divide both sides by -6.
y = -4
(3, -4)
