Answer:
The value of x in A is -7
The value of y in B is -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Everything in the first matrix can be multiplied by -5 to equal everything in the second matrix, since we are dealing with x and y, only the first and third rows matter.
In the first row, we know that 3 times -5 equals -15 and x times -5 equals 35
therefore, -5x=35, with basic algebra we find that X = -7
In the third row, we know that 8 times -5 is 40 and 5 times -5 equals y.
This takes just basic multiplication to find that Y = -25
