Solve the system of equation by the addition method x-2y=11 and -x+6y =-31

x = 1, y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations is expressed as

x - 2y = 11- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

- x + 6y = - 31- - - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes

- 2y + 6y = 11 - 31

4y = - 20

Dividing the the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes

4y/4 = - 20/4

y = - 5

Substituting y = - 5 into equation 1, it becomes

x - 2 × - 5 = 11

x + 10 = 11

Subtracting 10 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10

x = 1

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
