Answer:
x = 11 and y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are :
x+y=15 ...(1)
-2x+5y=-2 ...(2)
We need to solve the systems of equations.
Multiply equation (1) by 2.
2x+2y=30 ...(3)
Adding equation (2) and (3).
-2x+5y+2x+2y = -2+30
7y = 28
y = 4
Put the value of y in equation (1).
x+4=15
x = 11
So, the solution of the given equations are x = 11 and y = 4.
Check the picture below.
The y axis
Perpendicular means for a line to create a 90 degree angle, like it does on the y axis.
