Question

2x - 3y = 16 5x - 3y = 13 Solve the system of equations.

Answer 1

x=1 and y=-7

Explanation:

I used the elimination method to solve the equation.

Answer 2

So, x= -1 ,y = -6 is the solution of system of equations.

Explanation:

We have given system of equations :

2x - 3y = 16 (eq I)

5x -3y = 13 (eqII)

We have to solve the system of equations.

First, subtract the above equations to get value of x. we get,

2x - 3y = 16

-5x +3y = -13

_____________

-3x = 3

x = -1

Put this value of x in any above equations we get,

2(-1) - 3y = 16

-2-3y =16

-3y = 16 + 2

-3y = 18

y = -6

So, x= -1 ,y = -6 is the solution of system of equations.
