need help asap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x-5y=11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x+10y=18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am doing elimination method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x=5 but ik thats wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x - 5y = 11 solve for x add 5y to both sides 2x = 11 +5y divide both sides by 2 to isolate x x = (11+5y)/2 Now insert that into equation in place of x to solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2((11+5y)/2) -5y = 11 solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once you know y without a variable you can plug back in to solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x−5y=11 <--so for elimination lets multiply this equation by 2 4x+10y=18 4x-10y=22 4x+10y=18 8x=40 x=5 this is indeed correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have checked with a calculator and other methods

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and y= -1/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x−5y=11 2(5)-5y=11 10-5y=11 -5y=1 y=-1/5 yes
