Question

X+3y=-2 and 5x-3y=26 in (x,y) form pls!!

Answer 1

x + 3y = -2

=> x = -2-3y ----i

Also 5x -3y = 26

=> 5 (-2-3y) -3y =26

=> -10 -15y -3y =26

=> -18y = 36

=> y = -2

Putting y = -2 in equation i we get,

x= -2 -3(-2)

=> x = -2 +6

=> x = 4

Thus The solution is (4, -2)

Answer 2

(4, -2)

Explanation:

Please be sure to share ALL of the instructions. Here you meant "Solve the following set of simultaneous equations and present your solution in (x, y) form."

Note that the first equation features +3y and that the second features 5x - 3y = 26. Simply adding like terms results in our having eliminated the variable y:

6x = 24

Then x = 24/6 = 4

The x coordinate of the solution is 4; Substituting 4 for y in the first equation results in

4 + 3y = -2

which simplifies to 3y = -6. Thus, y = -2, and the solution is

(4, -2)
