Question

What is the solution of the system of equations 2x-5y=11 and -2x+3y=-9

Answer 1

Equation 1:
x = (5y+11)/2
Substitute equation 1 to 2:
-2((5y+11)/2)+ 3y=-9
-2/2 = -1 thus -1(5y+11)

Continue...
-(5y+11)+3y=-9
-5y-11+3y =-9
(-5+3)y= 11-9
-2y = 2
y=-1

Substitute y into equation 1:
x=(5*-1+11)/2
x = 6/2=3

So y=-1 and x =3
