Question

-3y+5x=26,-2y-5x=-16

Answer 1

x = 4 , y = − 2

Explanation:

Add the equations in order to solve for the first variable. Plug this value into the other equations in order to solve for the remaining variables.

Answer 2

x=4

y=-2

Explanation:

We are give two linear equations and asked to solve them. The two equations are

-3y+5x=26

-2y-5x=-16

Adding both equations

-5y=10

Dividing both sides by -5

y=-2

Substitute y=-2 in first equation

-3(-2)+5x=26

6+5x=26

5x=20

Dividing both sides by 5

x=4
