Question

HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!

Answer 1

X = 6

y = 1

Explanation:

Using the elemination method,

-5x + 10y = - 20

5x - 4y = 26

_____________

6y = 6

divide both sides of the equation by 6

6y/6 = 6/6

y = 1 --------> equation (i)

again,

Finding the value of X,

plugging the value of y from equation (i)

-5x + 10y = -20

or, -5x + 10*1 = -20

or, -5x + 10 = -20

or, -5x = -20-10

or, -5x = -30

or, x = -30/-5

X = 6

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer 2

x = 6, y = 1

Explanation:

-5x+10y = -20

5x-4y = 26

Adding both equations

=> -5x+10y+5x-4y = -20+26

=> 10y - 4y = 6

=> 6y = 6

Dividing both sides by 6

=> y = 1

Putting y = 1 in the first equation

=> -5x+10(1) = -20

=> -5x = -20-10

=> -5x = -30

Dividing both sides by -5

=> x = 6
