Question

I need to solve for x and y. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you

Answer 1

x=5

y=4

Explanation:

-4x+5y=0

-6x+5y=-10

Multiply the second equation (doesn't matter which one you do I just chose this one) by -1, which will get you 6x-5y=10.

The 5y from the first equation will cancel out the -5y in the second equation, leaving you with:

-4x=0

6x=10

Now, add everything together which will get you this: 2x=10

x=5

Now take x and plug it into either equation:

-4(5)+5y=0

-20+5y=0

5y=20

y=4

Now you're done!
