3x-5 =10

add 5 to both sides

3x=15

divide both sides by 3

x=5

check:

3(5)-5 = 15-5 = 10

5) –2x – 9y=-25<br> -4x – 9y=-23

notka56 [123]

Answer:

(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

–2x – 9y=-25

-4x – 9y=-23

Multiply the second equation by -1

4x + 9y=23

Add this to the first equation

–2x – 9y=-25

4x + 9y= 23

-----------------------

2x = -2

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -2/2

x = -1

Now we need to find y

4x+9y = 23

4(-1) +9y = 23

-4 +9y = 23

Add 4 to each sdie

-4+4 +9y = 23+4

9y = 27

Divide each side by 9

9y/9 = 27/9

y =3
