Question

Find the solution of this system of equations.

Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.
x= 0 + y
6x - 5y = 23

Answer 1

x = 23 and y = 23

Explanation:

x= 0 + y

6x - 5y = 23

so

solve the first for y which is y = x - 0

then eliminate by multiplying ^ by -6 getting -6y = -6x -0

then solve the second for y, 5y = 6x -23

now with these 2

-6y = -6x -0

5y = 6x -23

eliminate x and now you are left with -y = -23 or y = 23

now sub y into 6x - 5y = 23

6x - 5(23) = 23

6x - 115 = 23

add 115 to both sides

6x = 138

divide both sides by 6

x =23

Answer 2

23 , 23

Explanation:

x = 0 + y

x - y = 0

6x - 6y = 0 ....-(i)

6x - 5y = 23 ......(ii)

Subtracting (i) and (ii)

6x - 6y - 6x + 5y = 0 - 23

-y = -23

y = 23

x = 0 + 23 = 23

Thus value of x and y are 23 , 23 respectively
