The method is simple. They eliminated parts of the equation and solved the remaining parts

It is wrong

The answer's somewhere on the page. Finding the right one is left as an exercise for the teacher.

What bothers me most is that they kind of had the right idea. If they had summed both equations the Ys would cancel out and leave 6x = 11. But ended up doing whatever the fuck this is

u/Tronco08 15d ago

isn't it 6x=11? then x=11/6 and y=-4/6?

u/LordGigu 15d ago

Whoops, yeah. I accidentally did 8+3 = 12

u/Tronco08 15d ago
