What is the value of x in the following system of equations? 11x + 12y = 13 14x + 15y = 16 A. x = −2 B. x = −1 C. x = 1 D. x = 2

Answer :

11x + 12y = 13....multiply by 15
14x + 15y = 16...multiply by -12
---------------------
165x + 180y = 195 (result of multiplying by 15)
-168x - 180y = - 192 (result of multiplying by -12)
-------------------add
-3x = 3
x = -3/3
x = -1 <====
