Answer:
(1, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 3x + 5 → (1)
5x - 4y = - 3 → (2)
Substitute y = - 3x + 5 into (2)
5x - 4(- 3x + 5) = - 3 ← distribute and simplify left side
5x + 12x - 20 = - 3
17x - 20 = - 3 ( add 20 to both sides )
17x = 17 ( divide both sides by 17 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = - 3(1) + 5 = - 3 + 5 = 2
solution is (1, 2 )
Answer:
x = 1 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 3x = 5 -------------> (1)
-4y + 5x = -3 -------------> (2)
(1) * 4
=> 4y + 12x = 20 --------> (3)
(3) + (2)
=> 0y + 17x = 17
=> 17x = 17
by dividing both sides by 17
=> x = 1
by putting x = 1 into (1)
=> y + 3*1 = 5
=> y + 3 = 5
=> y = 5 - 3
=> y = 2
