Question

What is 5x - 2y = -5 and 5x + 6y =35

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = -5

5x + 6y = 35

=> 5x + 6y = 35

=> 5x - 5x + 6y = 35 - 5x

=> 6y = 35 - 5x

=> 6y/6 = 35/6 - 5/6x

=> y = 35/6 - 5/6x

=> 5x - 2 (35/6 - 5/6x) = -5

=> 5x - 35/3 + 5/3x = -5

=> 15/3x -35/3 + 5/3 = -15/3

=> 20/3x -35/3 = -15/3

=> 20/3x -35/3 + 35/3 = -15/3 + 35/3

=> 20/3x = 20/3

=> 20/3x * 3 = 20/3 * 3

=> 20x = 20

=> 20x/20 = 20/20

=> x = 1

=> 5x + 6y = 35

=> 5(1) + 6y = 35

=> 5 + 6y = 35

=> 5 -5 + 6y = 35 -5

=> 6y = 30

=> 6y/6 = 30/6

=> y = 5

So, x = 1

     y = 5
