Question

3 X + 5 Y is equal to 26 and X +5
Y is equal to 22​

Answer 1

if you want values of x and y then,

3x+5y=26                                eqn 1

x+5y=22                                    eqn 2

multiply eqn 2 with 3

we get

3x+15y=66                                eqn 3

substract eqn 3 - eqn 1

we get after substraction

10y=40

y=4

x+5*4=22

x=2

therefore X=2 Y=4

Answer 2

Answer:

Here we should find the value of $x$ and $y$ using the given two equations.

Final Answer: $x=2$ and $y=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question,

• $3x+5y$ is equal to $26$ ⇒ $3x+5y=26$ --------------(1)

• $x+5y$  is equal to $22$ ⇒  $x+5y=22$  --------------(2)

• Now Subtract equation(1) and equation(2).Then we will get the following equation.That is,

• During subtraction we should change the sign of equation(2).So that,

• Equ(1)-Equ(2) ⇒  $2x=4$

                                     $x=\frac{4}{2}$

                                     $x=2$

• Now apply the value of $x$ into equation(2). Then we can get the value of $y$.
• Equ(2) ⇒      $x+5y=22$    

                             $2+5y=22$

                                   $5y=22-2=20$

                                     $y=\frac{20}{5}$

                                     $y=4$

• Final Answer: $x=2$ and $y=4$
