Solve using elimination.

-8x - y = -20
x + y = 6

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x - y = -20

-8(2) - 4 = -20

-16 - 4 = -20

-20 = -20 TRUE

x + y = 6

2 + 4 = 6

6 = 6 TRUE

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
