Question

5x - y = 6
-2x +y = 8
What’s the answer

Answer 1

x=
`4(2)/(3)`

y=
`17(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

`5x-y=6\\-2x+y=8\\`

Simplify, find the x-value first:

`3x=14\\x=4(2)/(3)`

Substitute x-value into any equation (i did the second equation) and simplify:

`-2(4(2)/(3))+y=8\\ -9(1)/(3) +y=8\\`

`y=17(1)/(3)`
