Question

Solve the system of equations.

- 3x + 2y = 56

- 5x - 2y = 24

X = ?

Y= ?

Answer 1

x = -10

y = 13

Explanation:

- 3x + 2y = 56 ------ Equation 1

- 5x - 2y = 24 ------ Equation 2

Equation 1 + Equation 2.

-8x = 80

x = -10

Substitute x = - 10 into Equation 1.

-3(-10) + 2y = 56

30 + 2y = 56

2y = 26

y = 13

Answer 2

X=-10 and Y=13, look at the image attached to see the solution
