Question

Determine the best method to solve the system of equations. Then solve the system.

2x-5y=8
3x-11y=-2

Answer 1

(x,y)=(14,4)

Explanation:

2x×-5y=8

3x-11y=-2

x=4+5/2y

3x-11y=-2

3(4+5/2y)-11y=-2

y=4

x=4+5/2×4

x=14

2×14-5×4=8

3×14-11×4=-2

8=8

-2=-2

Answer 2

1) solve the equation 2) Substitute the value of x into the equation 3) solve the equation 4) substitute the value of y into the equation 5) solve the equation 6) solution=14 7) check the solution 8)simplify 9) the ordered pair is a solution.
