Solve the following problems using ELIMINATION. (pls explain steps also! Giving Brainliest for correct answer and if you “actually” showed work and tried :))

8x - 5y =-18
2x + 5y = 58

29 is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
