2x-5y=-1;6x-5y=27

Solution :

{x,y} = {7,3}

System of Linear Equations entered :

[1] 2x - 5y = -1

[2] 6x - 5y = 27

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

-5y + 2x = -1 -5y + 6x = 27

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] 6x = 5y + 27

[2] x = 5y/6 + 9/2

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]

[1] 2•(5y/6+9/2) - 5y = -1

[1] - 10y/3 = -10

[1] - 10y = -30

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] 10y = 30

[1] y = 3

// By now we know this much :

x = 5y/6+9/2

y = 3

// Use the y value to solve for x

x = (5/6)(3)+9/2 = 7

Solution :

{x,y} = {7,3}

Hope I helped! :)

If the values of x and y are different for the two questions then:

1.2x+y=7

x=4
Y=3

6x + 5y= 27

x=2
y=3
