Hey! I'm Amina. I was just wondering, how do you solve this?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 2y = 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "These equations lend themselves very well to the \"elimination method\"
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 2y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "---------------adding eliminates y, find x
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 0y = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"12%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y using the 1st equation, replace x with 1.5.
\n" ); document.write( "3(1.5) + 2y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "4.5 + 2y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 5 - 4.5
\n" ); document.write( "2y = .5
\n" ); document.write( "y = \".5%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = .25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solutions: x = 1.5 and y = .25; in the 2nd equation.
\n" ); document.write( "5(1.5) - 2(.25) = 7
\n" ); document.write( "7.5 - .5 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "7 = 7; equality reigns, our solutions are correct \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
