Question 158346: Solve each system of equations using any method.
5x - 12y = 207
5x - 11y = 206
I'm not sure how to solve this. I have been trying to use the substiution method, and I just cant seem to get it right. Id love to see the correct steps, and the correct answer. Thank you! Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x - 12y = 207
5x - 11y = 206 subtract this equation
-----------------------
-y=1 answer
5x-12*-1=207
5x+12=207
5x=207-12
5x=195
x=195/5
x=39 answer.
proof:
5*39-11*-1=206
195+11=206
206=206
