Question

**Solve by Elimination 3 + 2x - y = 0 -3-7y = 10x 7) x = 8) y =

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

3 + 2x - y = 0
Or 2x - y = -3 (1)

-3-7y = 10x
Or -10x - 7y = 3 (2)

2x - y = -3 (1)
-10x - 7y = 3 (2)
———————

Multiply 5 to (1)

5(2x - y = -3)
-10x - 7y = 3
———————
10x - 5y = -15
-10x - 7y = 3
———————
-12y = -12
y = -12/-12
y = 1

Plug y value in (1)

2x - 1 = -3
2x = -3 + 1
2x = -2
x = -2/2 = -1

Therefore, x = -1 and y = 1
