The equations are

\

Rewrite the second equation

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

 Since the coefficients of the y-terms,+1 and -1,are additive inverses,

\

you can eliminate these terms by adding the equations. .

\

add the equations to eliminate variable y.

\

\"\"             (Write the equations in column form and add)

\

\"\"                       (Divide each side by negative 3)

\

\"\"                             (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                               (Divide:  \"\")\"\"

\

Now Substitute \"\" for in either equation to find the value of y.

\

\"\"   (Equation 1)

\

\"\"                          (Multiply:  \"\")                           

\

\"\"           (Add 30 to each side)

\

\"\"           (Commutative property:  a+b=b+a)

\

\"\"                        (Additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                          (Additive indentity property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                  (Add:  \"\")

\

\"\"                     (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

\"\"                              (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

\"\"                                 (Product of two diffirent signs is negative)

\

The solution is \"\".\"\"
