Question

Solve the system of equations -5x+13y+-7 5x+4y=24 y= x=

Answer 1

the answer would be x = 4.....i think

Answer 2

The value of y is equal to 1.

The value of x is equal to 4.

Because both equations have a term that will cancel out if they're added together, we're going to add both equations together.

-5x + 5x = 0

13y + 4y = 17y

-7 + 24 = 17

17y = 17

Divide both sides by 17.

y = 1

Now that we have a constant value of y, we can solve for x.

-5x + 13(1) = -7

-5x + 13 = -7

Subtract 13 from both sides.

-5x = -20

Divide both sides by -5.

x = 4
