Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Enter your answers in the boxes. 3x – 2y = 24
x + 2y = 48

WHATS THE X AND WHATS THE Y

(x,y) = (18, 15)

explanation:

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

4x-72

divide both sides

x = 18

substitute in the value of x

3×18-2y=24

solve the equation

y=18

(x,y) = (18, 15)

check the solution

3×18-2×15= 24

18+2×15= 48

simplify

24=24

48=48

(x,y) = (18, 15)

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
