Answer :
Answer:
Q = (- 3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3y - 2x = 21 → (1)
4y + 5x = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 5 and (2) by 2 and adding will eliminate the x- term.
15y - 10x = 105 → (3)
8y + 10x = 10 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x
23y = 115 ( divide both sides by 23 )
y = 5
Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (2)
4(5) + 5x = 5
20 + 5x = 5 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 3
Solution is (- 3, 5 )
