Answer:

x = 1

y = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Arrange the equations with like terms in column.

Step 2: You want 1 set of coefficients that are opposites. This problem already has opposites: -2y and +2y.

Step 3: Solve for x.

4x-2y=7

3x+2y=0

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

7x = 7

x = 1

Step 4: Substitute the value of x and solve for y.

4(1)-2y=7

4-2y=7

-2y=7-4

-2y=3

y=-3/2

Make Y the subject of 3(y+2x-1)=x+5y

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

y = $\frac{5x-3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(y + 2x - 1) = x + 5y ← distribute left side

3y + 6x - 3 = x + 5y ( subtract 5y from both sides )

- 2y + 6x - 3 = x ( subtract 6x - 3 from both sides )

- 2y = - 5x + 3 ( multiply through by - 1 )

2y = 5x - 3 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = $\frac{5x-3}{2}$
