Answer: x = - 2, y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is expressed as

2x + 5y = −24- - - - - - - - - - - - 1

3x − 5y = 14- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

6x + 15y = - 72

6x - 10y = 28

Subtracting, it becomes

15y - - 10y = - 72 - - 28

25y = - 100

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 25, it becomes

25y/25 = - 100/25

y = - 4

Substituting y = - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 5 × - 4= −24

2x - 20 = 24

2x = - 24 + 20 = - 4

x = - 4/2 = - 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = -22; y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations

                                  2x + 5y = -24         ------------- l

                                  3x - 5y = 14            ------------- ll

Process

1.- Multiply equation l equation l by 3 and equation ll by -2

                                  6x + 15y = -72

                                 -6x + 10y = -28    Add the equations

                                   0  + 25y = 100    

2.- Solve for y

                                             y = 100/25

                                             y = 4

3.- Substitute y in equation l to find x

                                     2x + 5(4) = -24

Solve for x

                                      2x + 20 = -24

                                      2x = -24 - 20

                                      2x = -44

                                        x = -44/2

                                        x = -22

Can anyone explain the method for algebraic fraction? We have to do it for maths, and i'm really struggling with it. Here is an
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The approach is not very different from regular fractions.

You have to get to a common denominator to be able to add them.

10 is a good denominator (multiply the denominators).

multiply the first term by 5, and the second one by 2:

\frac{5 \cdot (x+1)}{5 \cdot 2} + \frac{2 \cdot (x+2)}{2 \cdot 5}  = 3

\frac{5x+5 + 2x+4}{10} = 3

\frac{7x+9}{10} = 3

7x + 9 = 30

7x = 30 - 9

x = 3

let me know if you need more details on one of the steps
