5x + 6y = 20 , 8x - 6y = -46

Mathematics
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

5x + 6y = 20_____(1)

8x - 6y = -46_____(2)

Solving simultaneously:

Eqn(1) + Eqn(2)

5x + 8x + 6y + (-6y) = 20 + (-46)

13x = -26

x = -2

substituting this into Eqn (1):

5(-2) + 6y = 20

-10 + 6y = 20

6y = 30

y = 5

hence:

x = -2,y = 5.
