Use Elimination to solve x + 2y = 10 and 2x +y = 29

x + 2y = 10 2x + y = 29 Equation 1 is in the correct format. Equation 2 is in the correct format. 2 * (x+2y=10) --> 2x + 4y = 20 1 * (2x+y=29) --> 2x + 1y = 29 2x + 4y = 20 - (2x + 1y = 29)-(2x + 1y

Use the elimination method to solve:

x + 2y = 10

2x + y = 29

Check Format

Equation 1 is in the correct format.

Check Format

Equation 2 is in the correct format.

Step 1: Multiply Equation 1 by 2:

2 * (x+2y=10) --> 2x + 4y = 20

Step 2: Multiply Equation 2 by 1:

1 * (2x+y=29) --> 2x + 1y = 29

Step 3: Equation 1 - Equation 2:

2x + 4y = 20 - (2x + 1y = 29)
-(2x + 1y = 29)

4y - 1y = 20 - 29

Step 4: simplify and solve for y:

3y = -9

y  =  -9
  3

y = -3

Step 5: Rearrange Equation 1 to solve for x:

1x = 10 - 2y

Divide each side by 1

x  =  10 - 2y
  1

Step 6: Plug y = -3 into equation 1:
x  =  10 - 2(-3)
  1

x  =  10 - -6
  1

x  =  16
  1

x = 16
