Question

Please help with my work!

Answer 1

x,y =3,-4

Explanation:

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 2x - 10

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] 3x - 2•(2x-10) = 17

[2] -x = -3

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = 3

// By now we know this much :

x = 3

y = 2x-10

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(3)-10 = -4
