Answer:

The result is that 5x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to subtract 3x + 7y = 2 from -2x + 7y = 10

Mathematically that would be;

(-2x+7y)-(3x+7y) = 10-2

-2x + 7y -3x -7y = 8

-2x -3x + 0 = 8

-5x = 8 or 5x = -8

Answer:

-5x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The result is shown here. The y-terms cancel.

$\begin{array}{rccc}& -2x+7y &= &10 \\-&(\ \,3x+7y &= &2)\\\cline{1-4}&-5x+0y&=&8 \end{array}$

The simplified result is ...

-5x = 8
