Solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair. 6x + 5y = 61 -5x + 5y = -5 Solution You may solve your system using elimination. Subtracting the second equation from the first yields: 6x + 5y - (-5x + 5y) = 61 - (-5) Opening the brackets yields: 6x + 5y + 5x - 5y = 61 + 5 Removing opposite terms yields: 11x = 66 Dividing both sides by 11 yields: x = 6 Plug 6 in the first equation: 6*6 + 5y = 61 Subtracting 36 both sides yields: 5y = 61 - 36 => 5y = 25 => y = 5 The solution to the given system is the ordered pair (6;5)..
