Solve by substitution or elimination method: a). 3x - 2y = 8 and b.) -12x + 8y = 32?

Question

Please show me how to work these problems by using the elimination method.

Answer 1

3x - 2y = 8

-12x + 8y=32

We will eliminate x

That means that we will multiply the first equation by 4

(3x-2y=8) * 4

(12x - 8y = 64)

Then we add

12x  -8y  = 64

-12x  +8y = 32

When we add X and Y will be zero and that means that the equations have no answer

Answer 2

3x-2y+24=-12x+8y

15x+24=10y

y=(15x/10)+(24/10)

15x+24=10((15x/10)+(24/10)

15x+24=150x/10+(12/5)

150x+240=150x+24

um... i s***w up... woohoo 2 pts
