Solve the system of equations by elimination. Show your work. i’ll give brainliest

Answer:
x = 5
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"
[tex]4x+6y=44\\-4x-2y=-28[/tex]
_____________
[tex]4y=16[/tex]
[tex]y=16/4 =4[/tex]
Replace "y" in the first equation:
[tex]4x+6(4)=44[/tex]
[tex]4x+24=44[/tex]
[tex]4x=44-24[/tex]
[tex]x=20/4=5[/tex]
Hope this helps
Answer:
x = 5, y = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 6y = 44 (A)
4x + 2y = 28 (B)
Subtract equations: (A) - (B).
0 + 4y = 16
y = 16/4
y = 4.
Now plug y = 4 into equation A:
4x + 6(4) = 44
4x = 44 - 24
4x = 20
x = 5.
Now check if these roots are correct by plugging them into equation B:
4x + 2y = 28
4(5) + 2(4) = 28 - check OK.
