Question

Solve the system of equations. ​ 2y+7x=−5 5y−7x=12 ​

Answer 1

$\text{Solve the systems of equations:}\\\\2y+7x=-5\\5y-7x=12\\\\\text{Solve by adding and subtracting}\\\\7y=7\\\\\text{Divide}\\\\y=1\\\\\text{To find x, plug 1 into y in one of the equations and solve:}\\\\2(1)+7x=-5\\\\2+7x=-5\\\\\text{Subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\7x=-7\\\\\text{Divide by 7}\\\\x=-1\\\\\boxed{y=1\,\,and\,\,x=-1}$
