Okay, so since both y values share the same number, let's add both equations so the y values cancel out leaving us to solve for x.
10x+(-5x)=5x
7y+(-7y)=0
1+24=25
Now we have 5x=25
divide both sides by 5 and we have x=5
Now that we know x=5, we can plug it into one of the problems to find y.
Let's do 10(5) +7y=1
50+7y=1 subtract 5 and we get 7y=-49
divide -7 from both sides and we get y=-7
so there you have it x=5 and y=-7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 6, y =3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-7y=3
x-7y=-15
Multiply the first equation by -1
-4x+7y=-3
Then add this to the second equation to eliminate y
-4x+7y=-3
x-7y=-15
------------------
-3x +0y = -18
-3x = -18
Divide by -3
-3x/-3 = -18/-3
x = 6
Now find y
x -7y = -15
6 -7y = -15
Subtract 6 from each side
6-7y-6 = -15-6
-7y = -21
Divide by -7
-7y/-7 = -21/-7
y =3
