What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations?
1 answer:
Answer:
Option D is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations are:
5x - 3y = -11 Eqn 1
2x - 6y = -14 Eqn 2
We have to find the value of y so we will eliminate x.
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2
2(5x-3y=-11)
10x-6y=-22 Eqn 3
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5
5(2x-6y=-14)
10x-30y=-70 Eqn 4
Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3
(10x-6y)-(10x-30y)= -22-(-70)
10x-6y-10x+30y = -22 + 70
24y = 48
Therefore,
Option D is the correct answer.
