Question

Step by step explanation

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x =(7)/(2) , y = -3}`

Explanation:

2x + 4y = -4 ------------------------(1)

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

Multiply Eq. (1) by 3

3(2x + 4y) = -4 * 3

6x + 12y = -12 ---------------------(3)

Multiply Eq. (2) by 2

2(3x + 5y) = -3 * 2

6x + 10y = -6 ---------------------(4)

Subtract Eq. (4) from (3)

6x + 12y - ( 6x + 10y ) = -12 - (-6)

6x + 12y - 6x - 10y = -12 + 6

12y - 10y = -6

2y = -6

Divide 2 to both sides

y = -6 / 2

y = -3

Put y = -3 in Eq. (1)

2x + 4(-3) = -5

2x - 12 = -5

Add 12 to both sides

2x = -5 + 12

2x = 7

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 7 / 2

So,

x = 7 / 2 , y = -3

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
