Solve -5x + 5y = 15 and 3x – 2y=-8 by elimination
If someone can help that’d be brilliant


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+5y=15(multiply by 2)

3×-2y=-8(multiply by 5)

-10×+10y=30

15×-10y=-40

5x=-10

x=-2

Here,

-5x+5y=15.......(I)

and

3x-2y=8.....(II)

Now,

adding 3 in eqn (II)

so, 6x-5y=8

Now,

combining eqn (I) &(II)

-5x+5y=15

+6x-5y=8

[both 5y is cancelled ]

or, x=7

Now,

in eqn(i)

-5x+5y=15

or, -5*7+5y=15

or, -35+5y=15

or, -35-15=-5y

or, -50=-5y

or, -50/-5=y

[minus is cancelled ]

Therefore, y=10 and x=7
