Explanation:

Solution Of A System Of Equations

A system of linear equations is given as


\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}ax+by=c\\ dx+ey=f\end{matrix}\right.

There are many methods to solve them. We will use the method of reduction

The given system is


\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ x+y=10\end{matrix}\right.

Multiplying the second equation by -3


\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ -3x-3y=-30\end{matrix}\right.

Adding the resulting equations


\displaystyle -x=15


\displaystyle x=-15
