Question

`2x-7y=9\\x+2y=10`

Answer 1

x=8 y=1

Explanation:

you have first and second equation, YOU MUST FIND THE THIRD EQUATION

SOLUTION

FIND equation 3 from 2

x+2y=10

x=10-2y...........3

Substitute equation 3 from first (not from the equation where you got equation 3)

2 (10-2y)-7y=9

20-4y-7y=9

-11y=9-20

-11y= -11

-11y/-11= -11/-11

y=1

Find the value of x from the third equation

x=10-2 (1)

x=8
