How to solve using elimination:

1. \(9x - 2y = -21\)
2. \(2x + 3y = 16\)

Asked by briannaparker38

Answer (3)

9x - 2y = -21 /ยท3 2x + 3y = 16 /ยท2
27x - 6y = -63 4x + 6y = 32
31x = -31 /:31 x = -1
2x + 3y = 16 โ‡’ 3y = 16 - 2x 3y = 16 - 2 ยท (-1) 3y = 18 /:3 y = 6 Ans.: x = -1 y = 6

To solve the equations 9 x โˆ’ 2 y = โˆ’ 21 and 2 x + 3 y = 16 using elimination, first manipulate the equations to eliminate one variable. Finally, substitute to find the values of x and y , which results in x = โˆ’ 1 and y = 6 .
