Solve algebraically please URGENT y=5x−7 −6x−4y=−24

1 answer:

7 0

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=5x-7\\-6x-4y=-24&\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=5x-7&(*)\\3x+2y=12&(**)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute }\ (*)\ \text{to}\ (**):\\\\3x+2(5x-7)=12\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\3x+(2)(5x)+(2)(-7)=12\\\\3x+10x-14=12\qquad\text{add 14 to both sides}\\\\13x=26\qquad\text{divide oth sides by 13}\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\\text{Put the vaalue of x to}\ (*):\\\\y=5(2)-7\\\\y=10-7\\\\\boxed{y=3}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=2\ and\ y=3\to(2,\ 3)}$

I’m not too sure if I did it correct, but the answer I got was -6x^2+36. I just assumed you’d solve it as usual and then multiply (-3) after distributing-2 to x^2-6. Hope this helps.
