6x - 2y = 26

2x + 3y = 5

Solve for X and Y

y is equal to - 1

x is equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would do is multiply the bottom equation by a negative 3. You will get - 6x - 9y = - 15. Keep the top equation the same. Both of the 6x's cancel. You then get - 11y = 11 so y is equal to negative 1.

Since you have Y, you can now plug that in to any equation to find the value of x. - 6x - 2 (-1) = 26. You're left with 4. Plug both of the values into each equation to double check.
