Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = 9 → (1)
x + 5y = 8 → (2)
multiplying (2) by - 2 then adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x
multiply (2) by - 2
- 2x - 10y = - 16 → (3)
add 1(1) and (3) term by term
(2x - 2x) + (3y - 10y) = (9 - 16)
- 7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for x
(1) : 2x + 3 = 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Solution is (3, 1 )
