Question

5x - y = 6 -2x +y = 8 What’s the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

x= $4\frac{2}{3}$

y= $17\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x-y=6\\-2x+y=8$

Simplify, find the x-value first:

$3x=14\\x=4\frac{2}{3}$

Substitute x-value into any equation (i did the second equation) and simplify:

$-2(4\frac{2}{3})+y=8\\ -9\frac{1}{3} +y=8$

$y=17\frac{1}{3}$
