Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is:

x = 2, and y = -1

Explanation:

Given the pair of equations:

4x + 5y = 3 ..........................................................................(1)

2x + 3y = 1............................................................................(2)

To solve this by elimination:

Multiply equation (2) by 2, to eliminate x

Equation (2) becomes

4x + 6y = 2 .........................................................................(3)

Subtract equation (1) from (3)

4x - 4x + 6y - 5y = 2 - 3

y = -1 ....................................................................................(4)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5 to eliminate y

Equation (1) becomes

12x + 15y = 9 .......................................................................(5)

Equation (2) becomes

10x + 15y = 5 ........................................................................(6)

Subtract equation (6) from (5)

12x - 10x + 15y - 15y = 9 - 5

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4/2 = 2 ............................................................................(7)

From equations (7) and (4)

x = 2, and y = -1

What is a fraction five sentences or more

A fraction is a way of showing a division by showing the number you are dividing and the number you are dividing by. The number you are dividing is called the numerator. It goes above a horizontal line. The number you are dividing by is the denominator and it goes below the horizontal line. When typing, a slash takes the place of the horizontal line.
