Question 732902

5x - 3y = 16......eq 1
4x + 5y = -2......eq 2


Multiply eq1 by 5 and eq2 by 3 to cancel out 'y'
25x - 15y = 80
12x - 15y  = -6


Add the above equations
37x = 74
x = 2


Substitute x = 2 in eq 1
5x - 3y = 16
5(2) - 3y = 16
10 - 3y = 16
-3y = 16 - 10
-3y = 6


y = -2


x = 2, y = -2
