 Answer Key
Solve each system of equations using elimination.

-8x - 6y = 44 → -8x - 6y = 44 substitute for y

-x + 3y = 13 (-8) → 8x - 24y =-104 -x + 6 = 13
-30y = -60 -x = 7
y= 2 x = -7
(x, y) = (-7, 2)

2x - 4y = -2 (2) → 4x - 8y = -4 substitute for y

-4x + 3y = -21 → -4x + 3y = -21 -4x + 15 = -21
-5y = -25 -4x = -36

-3x - 5y = 13 (2) → -6x - 10y = 26 substitute for y

6x - 2y = 70 → 6x - 2y = 70 6x + 16 = 70
-12y = 96 6x = 54
y= -8 x = 9
(x, y) = (9, -8)

7x - 8y = 36 (3) → 21x - 24y =108 substitute for x

-4x + 3y = -19 (8) → -32x + 24y =-152 -16 + 3y = -19
-11x = -44 3y = -3
x = 4 y = -1
(x, y) = (4, -1)
