Solve the system using addition

3x + 5y = 67

- 3x + y = - 18 8

The solution is x = and y=

x = 8.95 y = 8.03

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 67

-3x + y = - 18.8

Add them

6y = 48.2

divide by 6

y = 8.03

now substitute into one equation

3x + 5 (8.03) = 67

3x + 40.15 = 67

subtract 40.15

3x = 26.28

divide by 3

x = 8.95
