Question

Please help right now!!!!! Solve the system of equations below. x + y = 7 2x + 3y = 16

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=5$ and $y=2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a system of equations. We are asked to solve our given system.

$x+y=7...(1)$

$2x+3y=16...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$x=7-y$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$2(7-y)+3y=16$

$14-2y+3y=16$

$14+y=16$

$14-14+y=16-14$

$y=2$

Now, we will substitute $y=2$ in equation (1).

$x+2=7$

$x+2-2=7-2$

$x=5$

Therefore, the point $(5,2)$ is solution for our given equation.
