Solve the following system:
{-12 x = -11 y - 75 | (equation 1)
{-5 x = -11 y - 89 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:
{-(12 x) + 11 y = -75 | (equation 1)
{-(5 x) + 11 y = -89 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/12 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{-(12 x) + 11 y = -75 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(77 y)/12 = (-231)/4 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 12/77:
{-(12 x) + 11 y = -75 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -9 | (equation 2)
Subtract 11 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{-(12 x)+0 y = 24 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -9 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -12:
{x+0 y = -2 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -9 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -2 {y = -9
please note that the parentheses "{" should span over both equations but the editor doesn't allow that so I should it on both line, See attached example.
