Answer:

x = 2, y = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the question is asking for the values of x and y. By finding these values you will need to use elimination.

Equations given:

5x + 3y = 9

2x - 3y = 5

To find x:

5x + 3y + 2x - 3y = 9 + 5  (add to eliminate y to solve for x)

7x = 14

x = 2

To find y:

5(2) + 3y = 9

10 + 3y = 9

3y = -1

y = -1/3

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -1/3

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through given point -x+5y=14;(-5,-2) show y
Brums [2.3K]
For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1.

For line -x + 5y = 14 => 5y = x + 14 => y = 1/5 x + 14/5 => slope = 1/5

m2 = -1 / (1/5) = -5

Required equation is y - (-2) = -5(x - (-5))
y + 2 = -5(x + 5)
5x + y = -25 - 2
5x + y = -27
