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

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the x - variables are $\"\"$ and their least common multiple is $\"\"$ , so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 0.5.

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by negative 0.5.

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

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ and solve for y.

Multiply each side by negative 1.

$\"\"$

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

The first equation: $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Add 2 to each side.

$\"\"$

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

The solution is $\"\"$ .
