Once again, multiply the second equation by -1 to get 2x+5y=75.
Add the two equations up to get 8y=72. y=9.
then substitute 9 into the first equation.
-2x+3(9)=-3
-2x+27=-3
-2x=-30
x=15.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put what you want to solve for
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for x and y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just did it for you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
any questions?

-2(15)+3y=-3
3y=27
y=9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so y=72
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no. y=9.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
look at my first post, 2nd line.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and x =15?

sure.

-x - 4y=-37
-2x -5y=-53
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, so you would multiply the first equation by -2. and get 2x+8y=74.
Do you get this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
using that equation, add it to the other one to get 3y=21. Therefore, y=7.
Substitute 7 for y in the first equation.
-x-4(7)=-37.
-x-28=-37
-x=9
x=-9.
