\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

Rewrite the equation 2: $\"\"$ in the form of $\"\"$ .

\

Subtract y from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the y - variables are 9 and 1 and their least common multiple is 9, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the y - coefficient 9. $\"\"$

\

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the second equation by negative 9.

\

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns to eliminate y - variable.

\

$\"\"$

\

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide each side by 44.

\

$\"\"$

\

Cancel common terms.

\

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in either of the original equations and solve for y.

\

The second equation: $\"\"$ .
