-3x + 5y = 1

Question

Solve the system of equations.

2x - 4y = 3

-3x + 5y = 1

dls · Answer

Multiply 1st equation by 3 and 2nd by 2 nd solve simultaneously

anonymous · Answer

would i multiply 2x by three , 4y by 3 and 3 by 3? or how would i multiply it

dls · Answer

every term

anonymous · Answer

so then it'd be 6y - 12y = 6?

dls · Answer

2nd one too

anonymous · Answer

multiply the second one by 2?

anonymous · Answer

or 3 also

dls · Answer

Sorry for late replies,kinda busy..let me do it for u now

dls · Answer

See basically,u have to find a common term in both so we can eliminate one term..so that we have a single equation variable to solve :)

dls · Answer

If you multiply  $$2x - 4y = 3 $$ by 3 and $$-3x + 5y = 1$$ by 2 u willget 6x in both so when u solve both of them simultaneously..

solve for y,substitute in any eq. and find x.
