Answer:
x = -1
y =2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+ 5y = 7
9x+ 11y = 13
Multiply the first equation by -3 so we can eliminate x
-3 (3x+ 5y = 7)
-9x -15y = -21
Add this to the second equation
-9x -15y = -21
9x+ 11y = 13
-------------------
- 4y = -8
Divide by -4
-4y/-4 = -8/-4
y=2
Now solve for x
3x+5y = 7
3x+5(2) = 7
3x+10 = 7
Subtract 10
3x = 7-10
3x = -3
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -3/3
x = -1
Answer:
-1, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Although you already have the answer, here's another method of doing it that may or may not help you someday. First, we solve the top equation for x. We get:
[tex]x = \frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{3}y\\9x + 11y = 13[/tex]
Now that we know what x is, we can plug it into the bottom equation to solve for y.
[tex]9(\frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{3}y) + 11y = 13[/tex]
Simplify everything out, and you'll see that y = 2. We can now plug it into our equation to solve for x.
x = 7/3 - 5/3 x 2; x = -1
