Full solution

Q. \#778-8, use eliminati\newline2x+6y=125x6y=3 \begin{array}{r} 2 x+6 y=12 \\ -5 x-6 y=-3 \end{array}
  1. Add Equations: Add the two equations to eliminate yy.(2x+6y)+(5x6y)=12+(3)(2x + 6y) + (-5x - 6y) = 12 + (-3)
  2. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. 2x5x=1232x - 5x = 12 - 3
  3. Combine Terms: Combine like terms.\newline3x=9-3x = 9
  4. Divide to Solve xx: Divide both sides by 3-3 to solve for xx.x=93x = \frac{9}{-3}
  5. Calculate xx: Calculate the value of xx.x=3x = -3
  6. Substitute xx for yy: Substitute x=3x = -3 into one of the original equations to solve for yy. Let's use the first equation: 2x+6y=122x + 6y = 12 2(3)+6y=122(-3) + 6y = 12
  7. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. 6+6y=12-6 + 6y = 12
  8. Add to Both Sides: Add 66 to both sides.\newline6y=12+66y = 12 + 6
  9. Combine Terms: Combine like terms.\newline6y=186y = 18
  10. Divide to Solve yy: Divide both sides by 66 to solve for yy.\newliney=186y = \frac{18}{6}
  11. Calculate yy: Calculate the value of yy.y=3y = 3
