Question

X-5y=21 and-6x=24 solve by substitution

Answer 1

The value of x is (-4) and y is (-5)

Explanation:

Given;

• x – 5y = 21
• -6x = 24

To Find;

• Value of x
• Value of y

Now,

-6x = 24

-6x/(-6) = 24/(-6)

x = -4

So, Substitute the value of x in x – 5y = 21

x – 5y = 21

-4 – 5y = 21

-4 + 4 – 5y = 21 + 4

-5y = 25/

-5y/(-5) = 25/(-5)

y = -5

Thus, The value of x is (-4) and y is (-5)

For Verification;

x – 5y = 21

-4 – 5(-5) = 21

-4 + 25 = 21

21 = 21

-6x = 24

-6(-4) = 24

24 = 24

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence Verified!
