It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

Find the solution of this system of equations? -8x-6y=60 5x+6y=-69

zvonat [6]

First subtract the x variable on both sides so on the first equation youll have -6y=8x+60 then divide 6 on all variables which means youll have y=8/6x+10 and in the second equation you do the same thing and youll have y=-5/6x-11.5
