Question

Please help right now!!!!! Solve the system of equations below. x + y = 7 2x + 3y = 16

Answer 1

The answer is (5,2)

Explanation:

I took the test and got it correct.

Answer 2

`x=5` and
`y=2`.

Explanation:

We have been given a system of equations. We are asked to solve our given system.

`x+y=7...(1)`

`2x+3y=16...(2)`

From equation (1), we will get:

`x=7-y`

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

`2(7-y)+3y=16`

`14-2y+3y=16`

`14+y=16`

`14-14+y=16-14`

`y=2`

Now, we will substitute
`y=2` in equation (1).

`x+2=7`

`x+2-2=7-2`

`x=5`

Therefore, the point
`(5,2)` is solution for our given equation.
