Question

3x - 5y+5=0
4x+ 7y+8=0

Please help ​

Answer 1

Y= -4. X=5

Explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation

3x+5y= -5 ------------(1)

4x+5y= -8 ------------(2)

Using elimination method

Eliminate x

×4. 3x+5y= -5

×3. 4x+7y= -8

12x+20y= -20

-(12x+21y= -24) Minus

-y=4 therefore y= -4

Substitute x into equation 1

3x+5(-4)= -5

3x-20= -5

3x= -5+20

3x= 15

x=5
