Question

Value of x if 3x+2y=11 and 5x-y=14

Answer 1

14Answer:

3

Explanation:

solve for y in first equation

5x-y=14

-y=14-5x

y=5x-14

substitute y value (5x-14) into 2nd equation

3x+2 (5x-14)=11

3x+10x-28=11

13x=39

x=3

Answer 2

3x + 2y = 11

3x + y = 11 - 2

3x + y = 9

x + y = 9/3

x + y = 3

x = 3 - y

5x - y = 14

x - y = 14/5

x - y = 2.8

x = 2.8 + y
