14x + 21 = 21y and 2x + 3y = 12
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 2x = 3y - 5
[1] x = 3y/2 - 5/2
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] -14•(3y/2-5/2) - 21y = -35
[2] - 42y = -70
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 42y = 70
[2] y = 5/3
// By now we know this much :
x = 3y/2-5/2
y = 5/3
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = (3/2)(5/3)-5/2 = 0
Solution :
{x,y} = {0,5/3}
