What is the solution of the system of equations 2x − 5y = 11 and −2x + 3y = −9? (1) (−3,−1) (3) (3,−1) (2) (−1,3) (4) (3,1)
Show Work Please!!!
were gonna do this together okay, real simple, first, we should add the first equation to the second equation okay: 2x − 5y = 11 −2x + 3y = −9 + --------------------- What do you get?
-4x8y-2
?
really? just look at this we have to add it like we would normally, it dosent matter if there are x and y's (2x)+(-2x)=0
Fine I got the first step
2x − 5y = 11 −2x + 3y = −9 + --------------------- -2y=2
now can you find what y=?
y = -1,3
?
what? how did you get y=-1,3, from -2y=2, you have to solve for y
I don't know how to solve for Y
if you have -2y=2, you dont know how to get y by ?itself
Nope
okay if i have -2y=2, then what should be done is divide both sidezs by -2, that gives us y=-1
now, simply replace y=-1 into one of your orginal equation and get x
What will be my final answer?
?
you have to solve this :2x − 5(-1) = 11
Thanks for everything but I rather get the answer
yeah, your gonna get far
Thank You Sir.
