Answer :
Step B) so you get:
-2x-2y=-16
2x+5y=24
adding the two together you get:
0+3y=8
giving: y=8/3
and substituting back in the original first equation:
x+8/3=8 so that x=16/3
-2x-2y=-16
2x+5y=24
adding the two together you get:
0+3y=8
giving: y=8/3
and substituting back in the original first equation:
x+8/3=8 so that x=16/3
