Answer:
(- 5, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x - 14y = 16 → (1)
- 2x + 7y = 17 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term
6x - 21y = - 51 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 35y = - 35
- 35y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 35 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
- 6x - 14(1) = 16
- 6x - 14 = 16 ( add 14 to both sides )
- 6x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 5
solution is (- 5, 1 )
I hope the choices for the numerators of the solutions are given.
I am showing the complete work to find the solutions of this equation , it will help you to find an answer of your question based on this solution.
The standard form of a quadratic equation is :
ax² + bx + c = 0
And the quadratic formula is:
x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
So, first step is to compare the given equation with the above equation to get the value of a, b and c.
So, a = 10, b = -19 and c = 6.
Next step is to plug in these values in the above formula. Therefore,
So,
So,
Hope this helps you!
