Question

- x + 2y = //
3x - 5y = 2
Need help!!

Answer 1

(59,35)

Explanation:

We want to solve the system

-x+2y=11

3x-5y=2

We multiply the top equation by 3 to get:

-3x+6y=33

3x-5y=2

Add both equations to eliminate x

y=35

Put y=35 into top original equation

-x+2(35)=11

This means that

-x+70=11

-x=11-70

-x=-59

x=59
