Question

Given the system of equations, what is the solution? 5x - 4y = 7 x = 5 - 3/2 y

Answer 1

The answer is A


You can solve this by equation the two equations, by substitution method or elimination. Let's choose the substitution since Equation 2 has already X isolated
-take the X in equation 2 and substitute in the first equation
So, You should have 5 (5-3/2 y) -4y =7
Get y ( I'll assume you know how to simplify and find y by yourself )
y=36/23
-Now take y and substitute it in the first equation or the second equation (it doesn't really matter)
Substituting y in Equation 2:
x=5- 3/2 (36/23)
=> x= 61/23

So answer is A where (x,y) is (61/23, 36/23)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

5x - 4y = 7 ...............(1)

x = 5 - 3/2y .................(2)

value of x from equation (2), put in equation (1)

$5(5-\frac{3}{2}y)-4y=7$

$25-\frac{15}{2}y-4y=7$

$-\frac{15}{2}y-\frac{8}{2}y=7-25$

$\frac{-15-8}{2}y=-18$

$\frac{-23}{2}y=-18$

$y=-18\times\frac{-2}{23}$

$y=\frac{36}{23}$

Now, Value of x = $5-\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{36}{23}=5-\frac{54}{23}=\frac{115-54}{23}=\frac{61}{23}$

Solution of given system is $(\frac{61}{23},\frac{36}{23})$

Therefore, Option A is correct.
