Hey there! :)
Answer:
(5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve the two equations algebraically by eliminating a variable:
2x + 5y = 0
3x - 4y = 23
Eliminate the x variable by finding the least common multiple and multiplying both equations:
3(2x + 5y = 0)
2(3x - 4y = 23)
Distribute and subtract the bottom equation from the top:
6x + 15y = 0
6x - 8y = 46
------------------
0x + 23y = -46
23y = -46
y = -2.
Plug in y into an equation to solve for x:
2x + 5(-2) = 0
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5. Therefore:
The solution to this equation is (5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.
One polynomial identity that crops up often in various areas is the difference of squares identity:
A2-b2=(a-b) (a+b)
We meet this in the context of rationalising denominators.
therer sorry for the cropped pic btw lol
