Answer:
11/13 x 4 = 3 5/13
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=9
3x+5y=19
I will do this problem in 2 ways. I.)Substitution II.)Elimination
Solution I.) Substitution
We can subtract 2x from both sides in the first equation.
y=9-2x
Now we can substitute the y in the second equation with 9-2x
3x+5(9-2x)=19
-7x+45=19
-7x=-26
x=26/7
y=9-2(26/7)=11/7
Solution II.)Elimination
We can multiply both side of first equation by 5 to get a 5y in both equations.
10x+5y=45
Now because both are positive 5y we just need to do simple subtraction of the 2 equation, each side respectively.
(10x+5y)-(3x+5y)=45-19
7x=26
x=26/7
2*26/7+y=9
y=11/7
Ultimately you get the same answer, both are viable methods, some problems are faster with one method but I recommend mastering both since they are very useful.
X-y=3=>x=3+y
X+2y=-6
=========
3+y+2y=-6
3+3y=-6
3y=-6-3
3y=-9
y=-3
X+2y=-6
X+2(-3)=-6
X-6=-6
X=0
