▹ Answer

(-39/35, 9/7)

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

5y + 2y = 9

-5x - 2y = 3

Solve the equation:

y = 9/7

-5x - 2y = 3

Substitute the value of y:

-5x - 2 * 9/7 = 3

x = -39/35

(x, y) = (-39/35, 9/7)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

5x + 2y = 9

-5x - 2y = 3

To solve this system by addition, we start by adding both of our equations together but notice that the x terms and the y terms cancel out.

This leaves us with 0 on the left side and on the right side,

9 + 13 = 12 so we are left with the equation 0 = 12.

Since 0 = 12 is a false statement, this means that

there is no solution to our system of equations.
