Question

2x + 3y = 17
5x + 6y = 32

Usibg method if elimination

Answer 1

Solution (-2, 7)

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 17 (1)

5x + 6y = 32 (2)

Using elimination method

Multiply (-2) to the equation (1)

-4x - 6y = -34

Now you have 2 new equations

-4x - 6y = -34

5x + 6y = 32

----------------------------Add

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into 2x + 3y = 17

2(-2) + 3y = 17

- 4 + 3y = 17

3y = 21

y = 7

Solution (-2, 7)
