Question

(Combining Equation)What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first ?-2x + y = 0 -7x + 3y = 2

Answer 1

We are given the following two equations

`\begin{gathered} -2x+y=0\quad eq.1 \\ -7x+3y=2\quad eq.2 \end{gathered}`

Let us subtract the second equation from the first equation.

Therefore, the result of subtracting the second equation from the first is

`5x-2y=-2`
