Question

What is the solution for the system of equations? Use the elimination method to solve. 2x+y=20 -5y=-6x+12

Answer 1

Given Equations :

✿  2x + y = 20 ------------------ [1]

✿  6x - 5y = 12 ----------------- [2]

Multiplying Equation [1] with 5, We get :

⇒ 5(2x + y) = 5(20)

⇒ 10x + 5y = 100 -------------- [3]

Adding Equations [2] and [3], We get :

⇒ (10x + 5y) + (6x - 5y) = 100 + 12

⇒ 16x = 112

⇒ x = 7

Substituting x = 7 in Equation [1], We get :

⇒ 2(7) + y = 20

⇒ 14 + y = 20

⇒ y = 20 - 14

⇒ y = 7

So, The Solution for the Given System of Equations is : (x , y) = (7 , 7)
