Question

Solve using
elimination 5y+3x=9 and 4y-3x=32

Answer 1

Explanation:

5y + 3x = 9

4y - 3x = 32

using elimination method

subtracting equation 1 from 2 gives

y = -23

substitute to get value of X

5(-23) + 3X = 9

-115 +3x = 9

3x= 124

x = 41.33

Answer 2

(x,y)= (-124/27, 41/9)

Explanation:

1) Add the equation to eliminate x.

5y+3x=9

4y-3x=32

2) Add 5y and 4y.

5y=9

4y=32 --> 9y=41

3) Get y by itself by dividing 9 on both sides:

y=41/9

4) Substitute Value in the equation 5y+3x=9

5(41/9)+3x=9

5) solve for x

x=-124/27
