\

The equations are

\

\"\"                            Equation (1)

\

\"\"                          Equation (2)

\

Since the coefficients of the s-terms are same, you can eliminate these terms by adding the equations. Subtract the equations to eliminate variable s.

\

Write the equations in column form and subtract the corresponding columns.\"\"

\

Apply division property of equality: If a = b then \"\"

\

\"\"                                     (Divide each side by 10)

\

\"\"                                                (Cancel commmen terms)                                             \"\"

\

Now substitute 1 for t in either equation to find the value of s.

\

\"\"                                          (Equation 1)

\

\"\"                                   (Replace t = –1)

\

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

\

Apply addition proparty of equality: If a = b then \"\"

\

\"\"                                (Add 5 to each side)

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"                                            (Divide each side by 6)
