Solve the system by using the elimination method.

(8, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x - 5y = 20 → (1)

- 3x + 5y = - 4 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate the y- term

2x + 0 = 16

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

- 3(8) + 5y = - 4

- 24 + 5y = - 4 ( add 24 to both sides )

5y = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 4

solution is (8, 4 )

step-by-step explanation:

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
