Answer:

(7, 3)

Explanation:

Step 1 : multiply so you can eliminate y and solve for x.

2(5x - 3y = 26)

3(4x + 2y = 34)

10x - 6y = 52

+ 12x + 6y = 102

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

22x = 154

x = 7

Now, plug in the value of x into one of the equations to solve for y.

5x - 3y = 26

5(7) - 3y = 26

35 - 26 = 3y

y = 9/3

y = 3

tadah!

Answer:

Explanation:

9x-3y=26

or,9x=26+3y

or,x=
(26+3y)/(9)......(1)

4x+2y=34

or,4(
(26+3y)/(9))+2y=34

or,
(104+12y)/(9)+2y=34

or,104+12y+18y/9=34

or,104+30y=306

or,30y=306-104

or,y=202/30

=6.734
