You need to make one of the terms the same. I will make the "2y" in the second equation 4y because it's a multiple of it To change 2y to 4y, multiply the entire second equation by 2. 2(4x+2y=28) 8x+4y=56 Now subtract the first equation from the second equation- 8x+4y=56 -5x+4y=38 3x=18 x=6
Plug in x for y- 5(6)+4y=38 30+4y=38 -30 -30 4y=8 /4 /4 y=2 So your answer is x=6, y=2. (6,2) if needed in point form.
