Solve for x in the simultaneous equation 2x+y=3 ,5x-2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

How do i solve this ?
Murljashka [212]
You can choose a couple of the x-values and plug each into all of the x's in each equation on the right. Then see which equations give the y-values equal to the y's adjacent to the 3 x-values you used. I chose x=-4 and x=8. Only the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th equations matched with both.
