Answer: y = 7, x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 11 - 2y - 8 = 44 ... A
17x + 51 + 4y + 6 = 170 ... B
Simplifying
A. 11x - 2y + 3 = 44 => 11x - 2y = 41
B. 17x + 4y + 57 = 170 => 17x + 4y = 113
Multiply A by 2 then add the two equations, thus eliminating the term in y,
22x - 4y=82
17x + 4y =113
39x = 195
x = 5,
From A,
11x - 2y = 41
11(5) - 2y = 41
2y = 14
y = 7
