What is the result of adding these two equations?

6x + 2y = - 2

3x - 2y = - 5

x=-7/9

y = 12/9

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y = - 2

3x - 2y = - 5

9x = - 7 (-2y and + 2y eliminated)

x = - 7/9

if 3x - 2y = - 5 then

3 * (-7/9) - 2y = -5➡

-21/9 - 2y = - 5➡

-2y = - 5 + 21/9

-2y = - 24/9

Answer: 9x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Line up the 2 equations like when you add (one on top of the other)

6x+2y=-2

3x-2y=-5

Your going to add the number from the top and add the number directly below it

That would give you

6x+3x = 9x

2y + (-2y) = 0 do not put 0 just leave it blank

they cancel each other out since the number is the same but one is negative and the other is positive

-2 + - 5=-7

Finally bring put the answers you got together in the corresponding order according to the equation and bring down the equal sign

Final answer:

9x=-7
