Answer:
(3, - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
- 3x - 7y = 5 → (1)
15x + 6y = 33 → (2)
multiplying (1) by 5 and adding to (2) will eliminate x
- 15x - 35y = 25 → (3)
add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 29y = 58
- 29y = 58 ( divide both sides by - 29 )
y = - 2
substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
substituting into (2)
15x + 6(- 2) = 33
15x - 12 = 33 ( add 12 to both sides )
15x = 45 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = 3
solution is (3, - 2 )
