Use the elimination method to solve the following system of equations. 3x - y = 1 -2x + y = 2 show the steps used to solve this problem.

Notice -y in the first equation and y in the second equation. If you add -y to y, you get zero, and the y variable is eliminated. We add the equations to use the elimination method and eliminate y.

3x - y = 1

-2x + y = 2

Add equations to get

x = 3

Now that we have x = 3, we substitute 3 for x in the first equation and solve for y.

3(3) - y = 1

9 - y = 1

-y = -8

y = 8

Solution: x = 3; y = 8

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^

it would take 5 hours i think idk i'm not that good at math.can you me with my questions i need asap.
