help please guys
Use elimination to find the solution to the system of equations. 5x+2y=45 5x-7y=0
@JayBaybie can u help me
Sorry I have no Idea how to do system of equations Im not that good at them @bbcream14 can you help her??:))
Eliminate one variable. For Example: 2x+3y=10 3x-4y=-2 Sometimes the equations need to be adjusted by multiplication before they can be added or subtracted to eliminate a variable. Multiply one or both equations to set them up for elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3: 3(2x + 3y) = 10(3) ⇒ 6x + 9y = 30 Multiply the second equation by -2: !2(3x ! 4y) = !2 "(!2) ⇒ !6x + 8y = 4 Decide whether to add or subtract the equations to eliminate one variable. Since the x-terms are additive opposites, add these equations. 6x + 9y = 30 !6x + 8y = 4 17y = 34 so y = 2. Substitute the solution for y into either of the original equations to solve for the other variable. 2x + 3(2) = 10 ⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2 √ Check the solution (2, 2) in the second equation. 3(2) ! 4(2) = !2 ⇒ 6 !8 = !2 ⇒ !2 = !2 √
