Elimination Method System of Equations

Solve the system by elimination.
  5x + 8y = -12
3x + 5y = -7

• (1, -10)

• No solution

• (-4, 1)

• (1, 10)

what does the top equation need to be multiplied by to create a zero pair?

2x - 6y = 20

2x + 5y = -11

• -1

• 1

• -2

• 2

Homer sells tickets for admission to your school play and collects a total of $104. Admission prices are $6 for adults and $4 for children. He sold 21 tickets total. Solve the system:
x + y = 21
6x + 4y = 104
