Answer:
x = 3
y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 6y = 27 .......... Equation 1
7x + 6y = 9 ………… Equation 2
To solve using elimination add the second equation to the first one to eliminate y
That's
5x - 6y + 7x + 6y = 27 + 9
12x + 6y - 6y = 36
12x = 36
Divide both sides by 12
x = 3
Substitute it into any of the equations
Using equation 2
That's
7(3) + 6y = 9
21 + 6y = 9
6y = - 12
Divide both sides by 6
y = - 2
The solutions are
x = 3
y = - 2
Hope this helps you
