Answer:
x = 5, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3y=7
4x-5y=25
Keep the second equation the same, but change the first equation so you have something to substitute into.
3y= -2x+7
y= -2/3x + 7/3
substitute into second equ.
4x + 10/3x - 35/3 = 25
put the variables on one side, and the numbers on the other.
22/3x = 110/3
divide by 3
22x = 110
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into the first equation,
10 + 3y = 7
move numbers to one side, and variables to the other.
3y = -3
y = -1
Answer:
x = 5, y = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 7
4x - 5y = 25
In the second equation, solve for y in terms of x:
4x - 5y = 25
- 5y = 25 - 4x
- y = 5 - 4x/5
y = - 5 + 4x/5 Now substitute this for y in equation 2x + 3y = 7
2x + 3(-5 + 4x/5) = 7
2x - 15 + 12x/5 = 7
10x/5 - 15 + 12x/5 = 7
22x/5 = 7 + 15
22x/5 = 22 Now multiply both sides by 5/22 to isolate :
x = 5
Now substitute this value (x = 5) into 4x - 5y = 25 to solve for y:
4(5) - 5y = 25
20 - 5y = 25
- 5y = 5
y = - 1
You can check that these are correct by substituting x = 5 and y = -1 into the above equations to make sure they check out.
