After solving simultaneously we found the values for x and y are

2.76 and 5.65 respectively

Simultaneous Equations

We have the following two expressions

7x – 2y = 34 --------1

3x + 5y = -3 ---------2

Multiply 1 by eqn 5 and eqn 2 by 2

35x - 10y = 170-------3

6x + 10y = -6 ----------4

subtracting 4 from 3 we have

29 x= 164

divide both sides by 29

x = 164/29

x = 5.65

Put x = 5.65 in eqn 1 to find y

7*5.65 – 2y = 34

39.55 - 2y = 34

39.55-34 = 2y

5.55 = 2y

divide both sides by 2

x = 5.55/2

x = 2.76
