Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.choose the correct ordered pair.

4x+6y=62

-6x+6y=-18

Verified Answer :

if we subtract the equations we can eliminate the 2 6y's
subtractiong the second from the first:-

10x = 44
x = 4.4
now plug x = 44 into the first equation:-
44.4 + 6y = 62
6y = 62 - 44.4 =  44.4
y = 44.4/6 = 7.4

the answer is the order pair (4.4,7.4)
