Answer:

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we will follow the steps below:

3.2x + 0.5y = 4.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

-1.6x -0.5y = 3.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

add equation (1) and equation (2)

1.6x =7.6

Divide both-side of the equation by 1.6 to get the value of x

1.6x /1.6 =7.6/1.6

x =4.75

substitute x = 4.75 into equation (1) and solve for y

3.2(4.75) + 0.5y = 4.2

15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2

subtract 15.2 from both-side of the equation

15.2 - 15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2-15.2

0.5y = -11

Divide both-side of the equation by 0.5

0.5y/0.5 = -11/0.5

y = -22

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22

Solving by elimination <br> 5x+2y= -3<br> 3x+3y=9<br> please help me solve x and y
-Dominant- [34]
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
                                             ⇒ -9x=27
     2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18

2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3 

3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6

Answer: (-3,6)

Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.

Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
