Full solution

Q. Solve using elimination.\newline9x+y=139x + y = -13\newline4xy=3-4x - y = 3\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.\newline9x+y=139x + y = -13\newline4xy=3-4x - y = 3
  2. Add Equations: Add the two equations together to eliminate yy.(9x+y)+(4xy)=13+3(9x + y) + (–4x − y) = –13 + 3
  3. Find xx: Perform the addition to find the value of xx.9x4x=109x - 4x = -105x=105x = -10
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 55 to solve for x.\newline5x5=105\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-10}{5}\newlinex=2x = -2
  5. Substitute xx: Substitute x=2x = -2 into one of the original equations to solve for yy. We'll use the first equation.9(2)+y=139(-2) + y = -1318+y=13-18 + y = -13
  6. Solve for y: Add 1818 to both sides to solve for y.\newliney=13+18y = -13 + 18\newliney=5y = 5
