Question

2. 3x + 2y = 22
5x – 2y = 42

Answer 1

Explanation:

3x+2y=22

5x-2y=42

by adding both equation

8x. =64

x=64/8=8

substituting x in the 1st equation

we get,

3*8+2y=22

24+2y=22

2y=22-24

y=-2/2=-1

therefore,

x=8

y=-1

Answer 2

X is 8 and y is -1 that is the answer hope this helps
