Question

Solve the simultaneous equation 3x-4y=11 9x+2y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

I assume you are looking for the x and y values of the two equations? if not message me!

y=–2

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first/top tearm by –3 so we can "get rid of" the X's with the addition of both equations. we are then left with: 14y=-28

We can now divide both sides by 14 to get y by itself so we are left with: y=–2

plugging our y value back into the first equation we get: 3x+8=11. we subtract 8 from both side and are left with: 3x=3. dividing both side by 3 we can get x by itself and are left with: x=1

To check, we plug x and y both into the first equation we get: 3+8=11 (which it does). Or we can plug both of them into the second equation and we get:9-4=5 (which it does)

Answer 2

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4y=11

9x+2y=5

Multiply the first equation by 3:

9x - 12y = 33

Subtract the above from the second equation:

2y - (-12y) = 5 - 33

14y = -28

y = -2.

Now plug y = -2into the first equation:

3x - 4(-2) = 11

3x = 11 - 8 = 3

x= 1.
