Solve using elimination.

6x + 6y = 18

-6x + 2y = - 14

What's the answer

Answer: x = (15/6), y =

(1/2). Explanation: To solve this equation through elimination, you need to isolate one of the variable. You can isolate the y variable since the x variables can be subtracted and go away. Add the two equations to get rid of one variable. (6x + 6y = 18) + (-6 + 2y = - 14) = (8y = 4). Now you need to solve for y. y = 4/8, y = 1/2. Now, plug the y back into one equation and solve for x. 6x + 6 (1/2) = 18. 6x + 3 = 18. 6x = 15. x = 15/6. Plug the two answers back in to the equation to check your answers. 6 (15/6) + 6 (1/2) = 18, 15 + 3 = 18✅. - 6 (15/6) + 2 (1/2) = - 14, - 15 + 1 = - 14✅.

The answer is (5/2, 1/2)
