Question

Y=5x+17 Y=-2x+4 solve with elimination

Answer 1

Answer: x = -13 / 7, y = 54/7

Explanation:

To eliminate a variable, we can substitute y for 5x + 17

We get 5x + 17 = -2x + 4

7x = -13

x = -13 / 7

Substituting x into the 2nd equation y = 5 * -13 / 7 + 17

y = 119/7 - 65/7

y = 54/7

Answer 2

x = -13/7

y = 54/7

Explanation:

Y = 5x + 17 Y = -2x + 4

5x + 17 = -2x + 4

7x + 17 = 4

7x = -13

x = -13/7

Not put -13/7 in for x and solve for y

y = 5(-13/7) + 17

y = 54/7

So, the answer is x = -13/7 and y = 54/7
