Solve the system of equations.

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

8x= 32
Answer= x=4

The y values can cancel out because 2.5-2.5=0 so that cancels out

Then 3x+5x= 8x and then 27+5=32

8x=32
I order to get x by it self you must dived both side by 8. (32/8=4)

X=4

I used the elimination solve system

I hope that helped
