Question

2x+7y= -5 5x - 7y = 14

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Let's solve for x:

$2x+7y=−5$

Step 1: Add -7y to both sides.

$2x+7y+−7y=−5+−7y \\ 2x=−7y−5$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{7y−5}{2}\\ x= \frac{ - 7}{2} y+ \frac{ - 5}{2}$

Therefore, the answer for the first one will be x = -7/2 y + -5/2.

Let's solve for x.

$5x−7y=14$

Step 1: Add 7y to both sides.

$5x−7y+7y=14+7y \\5x=7y+14$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{7y + 14}{5} \\ x= \frac{7}{5} y+ \frac{14}{5}$

Therefore, the answer for the second one will be x = 7/5 y + 14/5
