Question

What is the solution to the system of linear equations?

Answer 1

2x + 4y = 38......multiply by -5
10x + 3y = 105
-----------------
-10x - 20y = - 190....result of multiplying by -5
10x + 3y = 105
----------------add
-17y = - 85
y = -85/-17
y = 5

2x + 4y = 38
2x + 4(5) = 38
2x + 20 = 38
2x = 38 - 20
2x = 18
x = 18/2
x = 9

solution is : (9,5)
