solve using the addition method. what is the x-value of the solution to the system? 2x-3y=-1 3x+4y=24

x-value is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=-1

3x+4y=24

We can solve the equation by eliminating y

We multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 3

4 (2x-3y=-1)

3 (3x+4y=24)

8x - 12y = - 4

9x + 12y = 72

Then we add the two equations;

8x - 12y = - 4

9x + 12y = 72

17x = 68

x = 4

Thus the x-value is 4
