The equations are
\
Rewrite the second equation
\Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 5y from each side.
\Apply commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.
\ (Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
Since the coefficients of the x-terms, +1 and -1, are additive inverses,
\you can eliminate these terms by adding the equations. .
\add the equations to eliminate variable x.
\ (Write the equations in column form and add)
Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by negative 6.
\ (Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
Now Substitute for y in either equation to find the value of x.
(Equation 1)
Apply addition property of equality: Add 4 to each side.
\ (Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
(Add:
)
Apply multiplication property of equality: Multiply each side by negative one.
\ (Product of two same signs is positive)
(Product of two diffirent signs is negative)
The solution is .
The solution is .
