Answer:
(- 4, 2 )
Explanation:
x + 5y = 6 → (1)
x + 3y = 2 → (2)
subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate x
(x - x) + (5y - 3y) = 6 - 2
0 + 2y = 4
2y = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 2
substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
substituting into (1)
x + 5(2) = 6
x + 10 = 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
x = - 4
solution is (- 4, 2 )
