Question

PLEASE HELP ME



Solve by the linear combination method (with or without multiplication).

2x + 3y = –17
5x + 2y = –4

(3, –1)
(–2, 2)
(–1, 3)
(2, –7)

Answer 1

hi need help

Answer 2

you can solve this by using simultaneous equation
but first you need to make one of the terms either x or y from both the top and bottom equation equal

Answer 3

you can do these by multiplying the top equation by 2
and the bottom by 3
so this make your y variable 6y

Answer 4

thereafter eliminate by subtracting
so it should look like this

Answer 5

ok
