The equations are
\
Since the coefficients of the y-terms, +6 and +6, are same,
\you can eliminate these terms by subtracting the equations.
\Subtract the equations to eliminate variable y.
\ (Write the equations in column form and subtract)
Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 6.
\ (Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
Now Substitute for x in either equation to find the value of y.
(Equation 1)
(Multiply:
)
Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 20 from each side.
\Apply commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.
\ (Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 6.
\ (Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
The solution is .
The solution is .
