Ill give brainliest asap! how do you solve using the elimination method? give an example pls

Here's how:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say you have:

2x + y = 2

x - 4y = -12

To solve, eliminate a variable to solve for the other variable. In this case, let's multiply the second equation by -2 so that we can eliminate x.

2x + y = 2

-2x + 8y = 24

Now combine these equations:

9y = 26

y = 2.888

Now solve by putting 2.888 for y into the original equation.

2x + 2.888 = 2

Subtract 2.888 from both sides to isolate x.

2x = -0.888

x = -0.444

I'm really sorry that I couldn't pick clean numbers, I hope this helps anyway!
