Question

Solve the system by the method of elimination.

Answer 1

hope its helpful to uh....

Answer 2

x=5, y = 9/5

Explanation:

x+5y = 14

3x - 10y = -3

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(x+5y) = 2*14

2x+10y = 28

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

2x+10y = 28

3x - 10y = -3

----------------------

5x + 0y = 25

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5

Now find y

x+5y =14

5+5y = 14

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5+5y = 14-5

5y = 9

Divide by 5

5y/5 = 9/5

y = 9/5
