Answer:
x = -3
y = -4
Explanation:
2x - 5y = 14 ⇒ ( 1 )
y = 3x + 5 ⇒ ( 2 )
First, let us find the value of x.
For that let us use equation ( 1 ) and replace y with (3x + 5 ).
2x - 5y = 14
2x - 5 ( 3x + 5 ) = 14
Solve the brackets.
2x - 15x - 25 = 14
Combine like terms.
-13x - 25 = 14
Add 25 to both sides.
-13x = 14 + 25
- 13x = 39
Divide both sides by -13.
x = -3
Let us find the value of y.
For that, use equation (2) and replace x with (-3).
y = 3x + 5
y = 3 × -3 + 5
y = - 9 + 5
y = -4
