\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Elimination method:

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the second equation by $\"\"$ .

\

Subtract the equations to eliminate the $\"\"$ -variable and solve the equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in either of the equations to find $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (First equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ in the equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply)

\

$\"\"$ (Add $\"\"$ to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive property of inverse: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

Therfeore, the values are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
