Question

Solve the following system of linear equations algebraically. 3x + y = 5 5x – 4y = -3

Answer 1

x = 1 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this, i changed the form of one of the equations so it was in the y= form then plugged it into the pther equation to solve for x. once i had x i plugged it into one of the equation to get y! hope this helps

Answer 2

3x+y=5 & 5x-4y=-3

3x+5x=8x+y-4y=-3

           8x+y-4y=-3

     8x+3y=-3

         -3     -3

8x=-6
