Question

Solve the systems of equations using elimination

3x-5y=-2
4x-7y=-3
a.(-1,-1)
b.( -7/3, -1)
c. (-7/3, 1)
d.(1, 1)

Answer 1

x=1, y=1. (1, 1). The answer is D).

Explanation:

3x-5y=-2

4x-7y=-3

--------------

4(3x-5y)=4(-2)

-3(4x-7y)=-3(-3)

------------------------

12x-20y=-8

-12x+21y=9

--------------------

y=1

3x-5(1)=-2

3x-5=-2

3x=-2+5

3x=3

x=3/3

x=1
