Question

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. Explain each step of your solution.

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

Answer 1

1)y=-3+5x

2)y=5/2-1/2x

Explanation:

for both equations

1) get your y by it self (subtract -5x and your new equation is now -y=-5x+3)

2)(reminder y can't be negative if it is negative) then you divide by -1 of both sides

3) your equation should now be y=5x-3
