Answer:
[tex]x = -1[/tex], [tex]y = 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2x + 3y = 10[/tex]
[tex]3x + 5y = 17[/tex]
By using substitution:
[tex]2x + 3y = 10[/tex]
[tex]2x = -3y + 10[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{3}{2} y + 5[/tex]
[tex]3x + 5y = 17[/tex]
[tex]3 (-\frac{3}{2}y + 5) + 5y = 17[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} y + 15 = 17[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} y = 2[/tex]
[tex]y = 4[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{3}{2}y + 5[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{3}{2} (4) + 5[/tex]
[tex]x = -1[/tex]
