Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) When the first equation is multiplied by 5 and the second equation by –6 ,

the equations become,

35x + 60y=54

-30x - 60y=60

Hence we can eliminate y by adding the equation.

B)  When the first equation is multiplied by -5 and the second equation by 6 ,

the equations become,

-35x - 60y=54

30x + 60y=60

Hence we can eliminate y by adding the equation.

C)  When the first equation is multiplied by -5 and the second equation by 7,

the equations become,

-35x  - 60y=54

35x - 70y=60

Hence we can eliminate x by adding the equation.

D) When the first equation is multiplied by 5 and the second equation by -7,

the equations become,

35x  + 60y=54

-35x - 70y=60

Hence we can eliminate x by adding the equation.

E) When the first equation is multiplied by -5 and the second equation by 10,

the equations become,

-35x  - 60y=54

50x - 100y=60

Hence we can not eliminate x by adding the equation.

Solve this equation with substitution method :-<br> x+5 = 3 (y+5)<br> x-5 = 7 (y-5)
Damm [24]
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
