Question

If (x-2)(y-1)=3 and (x+2)(2y-5)=15,

Answer 1

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y = 10

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y - 10 = 10 - 10

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x + 4y - 10 = 0

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 2x - 2x + 4y - 10 = 0 - 2x

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: 4y - 10 = - 2x

Equation 1, Multiplied by 2: - 10 + 4y = - 2x

Notice that Equation 1 = Equation 2

One Solution

Equation 1: x - y = -10

Equation 2: 2x + 3y = 15
