y + 5x = 17
4x -3y = 6 Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 x + 1 y = 17 .............1
-3 y = 6 -4 x ---------2
/ -3 =
y = -2 + 1.33 x
Substitute y in (1)
5 x + 1 ( -2 + 1.33 x ) = 17
5 x -2 + 1.33 x = 17
5 x + 1.33 x = 17 2
6.33 x = 19
/ 6.33
x= 3
Plug the value of x in (1)
5 x + 1 y = 17
5 * 3 + 1 y = 17
15 + 1 y = 17
1 y = 2
/ 1
y= 2
