Question

Solve for x and y simultaneous equations: 2x+y=10 -3x+y=-5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!

Given, equations are,

2x+y=10.............(i)

-3x+y= -5...........(ii)

From equation (i)

y=10- 2x...........(iii)

Putting the value of "y" from equation (iii) in equation (ii).

-3x+y= -5

-3x + (10-2x)= -5

-3x + 10-2x= -5

- 5x = -15

$x = \frac{ - 15}{ - 5}$

Therefore, x= 3.

Now, putting the value of "x" in equation (iii).

y= 10- 2x

y= 10- 2×3

Therefore, y= 4.

Hope it helps...
