Respuesta :
5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.
Answer:
x = 3, y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find a variable to cancel out. Y will be easiest.
Multiply that equation by -2 to create [tex]-8x-2y = -24[/tex]
Now we can cancel y out and solve for x.
add the variables together to make 10x = 30
x = 3
Now that we have x, we can plug it in for either equation to find y.
[tex]4(3) + y = 12[/tex]
y = 0
