Answer 1

(5,-5)

x=5

y=-5

Explanation:

How to solve using elimination method.

First, add the two equations.

2x - 3y = 25

+ 5x + 3y = 10

7x=35

The y values got eliminated.

Next, divide 7 from both sides.

7x/7=35/7

x=5

Next, plug-in x=5 into one of the equations.

2(5) - 3y = 25

10-3y=25

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-3y=15

Divide -3 from both sides.

y=-5

Remember a positive divided by a negative is a negative.

Hope this helps!
