Question

−4x + 3y =7 5x − 2y =35 What is the solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

(17,25)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system, solve with elimination.

Equation 1.

−4x + 3y =7

Equation 2.

5x − 2y =35

To cancel out the y-variable, multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3.

2(−4x + 3y =7)

-8x+6y=14

3(5x − 2y =35)

15x-6y=105

Combine both equations.

-8x+6y=14

15x-6y=105

7x=119

x= 17

Plug in x into the first equation to solve for y.

-8x+6y=14

-8(17)+6y=14

-136+6y=14

6y=150

y=25

Answer 2

Answer:   x = 39/10     y = 29/5
