Answer:

(3)

x = 0

y = 3/7

(4)

x = 6

y = -11

Explanation:

the beginning was right, but get mistake was then to add the 2 equations but the parts with the y terms she suddenly subtracted.

no, one operation for everything. and then maybe another operation (and again for everything present).

so, some would multiply by -2 and then truly add.

or, as we will do it now to refuse as much as possible from your friend's work, we multiply by 2 and then SUBTRACT !

5x + 7y = 3

3x + 14y = 6

multiply the first equation by 2 and then subtract the second one.

10x + 14y = 6

- 3x + 14y = 6

-----------------------

7x + 0 = 0

=>

x = 0

then we use this e.g. in the first equation to get y :

5×0 + 7y = 3

7y = 3

y = 3/7

10x + 3y = 27

3x - 5y = 73

let's go e.g. for 15y (multiply the fits by 5 and the second by 3)

50x + 15y = 135

+ 9x - 15y = 219

------------------------

59x + 0. = 354

59x = 354

x = 6

10×6 + 3y = 27

60 + 3y = 27

3y = -33

y = -11
