In this problem, we have a systems of equation, so we have 2x minus 3y equals negative 7, and we have 6x minus, sorry, plus 5y equals 49.
00:14
To use elimination, i'm going to multiply this first equation by negative 3.
00:20
So i have a 6 coefficient in front.
00:23
So this will change to negative 6x plus 9y equals positive 21.
00:30
And i put the other equation below it, and i add down.
00:37
So my x's will end up canceling each other out, leaving me with 14y equals 70.
00:49
Divide off 14 on both sides.
00:52
So y equals 5, and then i can plug in 5 to my other equation, or any equation a half.
00:59
I'm going to plug into this top one...
