Solve it using simultaneous equations.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 5. After that add those two equations so you can cancel out the x term and get a value for y term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yaa
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well what you can do is multiply the first equation by two so that the two ys can be eleminated....
-10x+2y=70
minus
3x+2y=-21

divide each side by -13
x=-7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now you have to find y so plug x into one of the equations...
3(-7)+2y=-21
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add 21 to each side
2y=0
divide each by 2
y=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
check your work to make sure its right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3(-7)+2(0)=-21
-21=-21
so its correct
