Given:
The linear equations are,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 20x-8y-22x-16=0 \\ -22x-18y=36 \end{gathered}[/tex]The objective is to solve by elimination method.
The equations can be rearranged as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} -2x-8y=16\text{ ..}\ldots..\ldots\ldots(1) \\ -22x-18y=36\text{ ..}\ldots..\ldots\ldots(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]To solve the equation, multiply equation (1) b
