Please help me.i don't get it.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition method is a good choice in this case since you have x in one equation and -x in the other equation, and x and -x add to zero, eliminating x.

 x - 5.5y = -14

-x + 2.6y = 8.2

Add the equations. x and -x ad to zero, eliminating x. Then solve for y.

-2.9y = -5.8

Divide both sides by -2.9

y = 2

Substitute 2 for y in the first original equation, and solve for x.

x - 5.5y = -14

x - 5.5(2) = -14

x - 11 = -14

x = -3

Solution: x = -3; y = 2

Since the coefficients of y in the two original equations are not opposites, the addition method would not be the best method to use to solve for y first.
