Question 581053: solve the system of linear equation for x and y using substitution , elimination or graphical method.
2x+5y=8
-3x+y=5 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x+5y=8
-3x+y=5
---------
Multiply thru the lower equation by 5:
2x + 5y = 8
-15x+5y = 25
----------
Subtract and solve for "x":
17x = -17
x = -1
=============
Solve for "y":
2x + 5y = 8
2(-1) + 5y = 8
-2 + 5y = 8
5y = 10
y = 2
