Question

Use elimination to solve each system if equation 3x+2y=0and x-5y=17

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -3$

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x + 2y = 0$

$x - 5y=17$

to use the elimination you have to make one of the numbers same

so

$3(x-5y=17)$

and you would have to change the sign so that both of the 3x could cancel out.

New system of equation

$3x + 2y = 0$

$-3x+15y=-51$

$17y=-51$

$y = -3$

so we know the y value so now you could find the x value take one equation

$x - 5y=17$

$x +15=17$

$x = 2$

you could try it with both of the equations

$3x + 2y = 0$

$3x + - 6=0$

$3x-6=0$

$3x=6$

$x=6/3$

$x=2$
