Where is the photo u forgot it
To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
Answer:
x = 52, y = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y = 0
40 - y = 14
(40 - 40) - y = 14 - 40
- y = -26
y = 26
x - 2(26) = 0
x - 52 = 0
x (- 52 + 52) = 0 + 52
x = 52
