using the elimination method

U can solve by either subsitution or elimnating one of the term::
solve for x, and plug into other equation:
or multiply a number by one of the equation that will eliminate 1 term when added.

can you show me? please

anonymous · Answer

so elimination: let solve the 2nd one, 2x-3y=8, solve for x, u get x=4+(3/2)y, plug back to first equation: 5(4+(3/2)y)+2y=1, solve for y, u get y=-2, and plug that back in 2nd equation: and u get (2x-3(-2))=8, so x=1
