The second equation, its setup is correct
Next time, please share your system of linear equations by typing only one equation per line:
<span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0 5x + y - 3 = 0 NO
</span><span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0
5x + y - 3 = 0 YES
Mult. the 2nd equation by 2 so as to obtain 2y, which will be cancelled out by - 2y in the first equation:
</span><span> 3x - 2y - 7 = 0
2(5x + y - 3 = 0)
Then:
3x - 2y - 7 = 0
10x +2y - 6 = 0
----------------------
13x - 13 = 0, so that x = 1. Find y by subbing 1 for x in either of the 2 given equations.</span>
