HELP PLEASE!!! ALGEBRA PROBLEM!!?

I have one problem left I can not figure out...

Solve the system by the elimination method

135x+45y=-13

81x-75y=17

What is the solution set of the system? {( )}

(simplify the answer. Type an ordered pair.)

I just need this one problem, if someone could work it out and show the answers it would be very helpful, I will also take answers only lol =)

Correct answers will get the "Best Answer"

Thank you!

  • STEP 1

    135x + 45y = -13 | x -75 |

    81x - 75y = 17 | x 45 |

    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' -

    STEP 2

    10125x - 3375y = 975

    3645x - 3375y = 765

    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' -

    6480x = 210

    x = 210/6480

    x = 7/216

    STEP 3

    81x - 75y = 17

    81(7/216) - 75y = 17

    2.625 - 75y = 17

    -75y = 14.375

    y = -14.375/75

    y = -23/120

    ANSWER

    x = 7/216

    y = -23/120

  • 135x + 45y = -13 (multiply to 5) 675x + 225y = -65

    81x - 75y = 17 (multiply to 3) 243x - 225y = 51

    -------------------------------- (+)

    918x = -14

    x = -7/459

    substitution:

    243(-7/459) - 225y = 51

    -225y = 930/17

    y= 62/255

  • x= -7/459 , y= -62/255
