Question

Whats the answer to: 3x + 5y = 2 9x + 11y = 14

Answer 1

\begin{gathered}\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+5y=2&|\cdot(-3)\\9x+11y=14\end{array}\\\underline{+\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-15y=-6\\9x+11y=14\end{array}}\ \ |\text{add both sides of equations}\\.\ \ \ \ \ -4y=8\ \ \ |:(=4)\\.\ \ \ \ \ y=-2\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to the first equation}\\\\3x+5\cdot(-2)=2\\3x-10=2\ \ \ |+10\\3x=12\ \ \ |:3\\x=4\\\\Answer:\ x=4;\ y=-2\to(4;\ -2)\end{gathered}

{

3x+5y=2

9x+11y=14

∣⋅(−3)

−9x−15y=−6

9x+11y=14

add both sides of equations

. −4y=8 ∣:(=4)

. y=−2

substitute the value of y to the first equation

3x+5⋅(−2)=2

3x−10=2 ∣+10

3x=12 ∣:3

x=4

Answer: x=4; y=−2→(4; −2)
