SOLUTION: use the addition-subtraction method to solve. 2x+5y=15 3x+5y=10 here,s what i came up with: 15-2x=10-3x 2(-5)+5y=15 x=-5 -10+5y=15

Question 878846: use the addition-subtraction method to solve.
2x+5y=15
3x+5y=10
here,s what i came up with:
15-2x=10-3x 2(-5)+5y=15
x=-5 -10+5y=15
5y=25
y=5
how do i check to see if my answer is correct?

Your given system is ready for using the Elimination Method, but you want "addition-subtraction" method. This name of method is not well known everywhere, so I will show you how to begin the solution process of the Elimination Method.

Both of your equations are in standard form and both have a term, 5y in their left members.

I prefer to continue using substitution.
Start with either original equation, arbitrarily choosing----3x+5y=10

All these steps are TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!!

 2x + 5y = 15 ------- eq (i)

 3x + 5y = 10 ------- eq (ii)

- x      = 5 ------- Subtracting eq (ii) from eq (i)

       



2(- 5) + 5y = 15 ------- Substituting - 5 for x in eq (i)

  - 10 + 5y = 15

         5y = 15 + 10

         5y = 25

          , or 

Now substitute - 5 for x, and 5 for y in either eq (i) or (ii). If the equation proves true after doing

this, then the solutions are CORRECT.



IT IS THAT SIMPLE!! Don't make things SO DIFFICULT for yourself!!
