Use the elimination method to solve

x+8y= 47
-x + 4y= 13

The solution is (___,___)

Thank you

This is an easy one. Just add them.

Make an effort

12y=34?

47 + 13 does not equal 34

12y=60

I thought you would have to subtract 47-13= 34

Do i have to divide 60 by 12?
And where do i find where y?

y = 60/12

correct answer was (37/25, -72/25)
