5-x=16 subtract 5 from both sides
-x=11 multiply both by -1
x=-11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5x + 2y = 16 ------------- (1)
3x + 4y = 18 ------------- (2)
eq(1) X 2 - eq(2) we get,
10x + 4y - 3x - 4y = 32 -18
7x = 14
x =2
putting the value of x in eq(1)
10 + 2y =16
2y = 6
y =3
therefore,
x = 2 and y = 3
