-2x • 3x = -6x2 (the 2 is an exponent)
4y • -7y = -28y2 (the 2 is an exponent)
-2x • -7y = 14xy
4y • 3x = 12xy
14xy + 12xy = 26xy
—> -6x2(expo) - 28y2(expo) + 26xy
Check the answer again just to be sure, it’s been a while since I’ve had algebra!
The LCM of 12 and 25 is 300
If this is a system of equations then:
Multiply 5x-y=3 by -2
=> -10x+2y=-6
Now you sum the equations:
10x-10x+7y+2y=-3-6
=> 9y=-9
Then just divide by 9: y=-1
Now to get x, choose one of the equations and use the value we got from y:
5x-(-1)=3 => 5x+1=3 => 5x=3-1
=> 5x=2
=> x=2/5
(x,y)=(2/5, -1)
