Step-by-step explanation:
−2x+5y=−15 and 5x+2y=−6
Rewrite equations:
−2x+5y=−15;5x+2y=−6
Step: Solve−2x+5y=−15for x:
−2x+5y=−15
−2x+5y+−5y=−15+−5y(Add -5y to both sides)
−2x=−5y−15
−2x−2=−5y−15−2(Divide both sides by -2)
x=52y+152
Step: Substitute52y+152forxin5x+2y=−6:
5x+2y=−6
5(52y+152)+2y=−6
292y+752=−6(Simplify both sides of the equation)
292y+752+−752=−6+−752(Add (-75)/2 to both sides)
292y=−872
292y292=−872292(Divide both sides by 29/2)
y=−3
Step: Substitute−3foryinx=52y+152:
x=52y+152
x=52(−3)+152
x=0(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=0 and y=−3
