Answer:
(- 10, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
5x + 12y - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )
5x + 12y = 10 → (1)
2x - 3y + 35 = 0 ( subtract 35 from both sides )
2x - 3y = - 35 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 4 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
8x - 12 y = - 140 (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term
5x + 8x + 12y - 12y = 10 - 140, that is
13x = - 130 ( divide both sides by 13 )
x = - 10
Substitute x = - 10 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y
Substituting in (1)
5(- 10) + 12y = 10
- 50 + 12y = 10 ( add 50 to both sides )
12y = 60 ( divide both sides by 12 )
y = 5
Solution is (- 10, 5 )
