Question

Solve the system by substitution. 4y = 5x -10y =-50

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = -20 ; y =-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Eqn. 1 ----> 4y = x

Eqn. 2 ----> 5x-10y = -50

(Simplifying eqn.2 further)

$=>5(x-2y)=-50$

$=>x-2y=\frac{-50}{5} =-10$

(Substituting the value of x from eqn. 1)

$=>4y-2y=-10$

$=>2y=-10$

$=>y =\frac{-10}{2} =-5$

Now, substituting the value of y in eqn. 1 ,

$x = 4*(-5)=-20$
