The population ten years ago was 6,000.

Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2

12,000 / 2 = 6,000

Solve the system by using the technique of ‘elimination’: -2x+5y=-42,7x+2y=30
Gekata [30.6K]

Solve the following system using elimination:

{5 y - 2 x = -42 | (equation 1)

7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

-(2 x) + 5 y = -42 | (equation 2)

Add 2/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+(39 y)/7 = (-234)/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/39:

{7 x + 2 y = 30 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{7 x+0 y = 42 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:

{x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 6, y = -6
