2x + 5y = 11-3x+8y=-1
2x + 5y = 11.....multiply by 3-3x + 8y = -1....multiply by 2-----------------6x + 15y = 33 (result of multiplying by 3)-6x + 16y = -2 (result of multiplying by -2)-----------------add31y = 31y = 31/31y = 12x + 5y = 112x + 5(1) = 112x + 5 = 112x = 11 - 52x = 6x = 6/2x = 3solution is (3,1)
