Question

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first -2x+7y=10 3x+7y=2

Answer 1

The answer after subtracting the following equation is x= -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

• -2x+7y=10 ----- eq(1) , 3x + 7y =2------ eq(2)

• 7y+3x =2

• 7y-2x = 10

• subtracting eq 2 from eq 1 we get

• 5x = -8

• x= -8/5
