SOLUTION: 5x+3y=8, 8x-2y=6

Question 732857: 5x+3y=8, 8x-2y=6
Answer by vidhyak(98) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x + 3y = 8......eq 1
8x - 2y = 6......eq 2

Multiply eq1 by 2 and eq2 by 3 to cancel out 'y'
10x + 6y = 16
24x - 6y = 18

Add the above equations
34x = 34
x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in eq 1
5x + 3y = 8
5(1) + 3y = 8
5 + 3y = 8
3y = 8 - 5

3y = 3
y = 1

x = 1, y = 1
