2x+5=10


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{5}{2} \\y=5[/tex]

( 5/2, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by substitution method:

[tex]2x+5=10\\\2x+3y=20[/tex]

Solve [tex]2x+5=10[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]2x+5=10[/tex]

[tex]2x=10-5[/tex]

[tex]2x=5[/tex]

[tex]x=5/2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]5/2[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in [tex]2x+3y=20[/tex]:

[tex]2x+3y=20[/tex]

[tex]2(\frac{5}{2} )+3y=20[/tex]

[tex]3y+5=20[/tex]

[tex]3y=20-5[/tex]

[tex]3y=15[/tex]

[tex]y=15/3[/tex]

[tex]y=5[/tex]

∴ [tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y=5[/tex]

hope this helps....
