Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

correct ordered pair.

3x + 5y = 48

-3x + 5y = 12

Answer: x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.

3x+5y=48; -3x+5y=12

Steps:

3x+5y=48

-3x+5y=12

Add these equations to eliminate x:

10y=60

Then solve

10y=60

for y:

10y/10=60/10

(Divide both sides by 10)

y=6

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

3x+5y=48

Substitute

6 for y in 3x+5y=48:3x + (5) (6) = 48

3x+30=48

(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+30+-30=48+-30

(Add - 30 to both sides)

3x=18

3x/3=18/3

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=6

Answer: x=6

Y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the elimination method

3x+5y=48 ... equ1

-3x+5y=12 ... equ2

Add equation 1 &2

3x+5y=48

+

-3x+5y=12

Answer =

10y=60

Y=60/10

Y=6

Substitute for y in equation 1

3x+5y=48

3x+5 (6) = 48

3x+30=48

3x=48-30

3x=18

X=18/3

X=6

Therefore,

X = 6

Y = 6
