Question

3x + 5y =16
4x - 3y =2
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x =2 y =2

Step-by-step explanation:

through elimination method,

3x + 5y = 16 -eq.1

4x - 3y = 2 -eq.2

multiply eq.1 with 3

multiply eq.2 with 5

eq.1 becomes 9x + 15y = 48

eq.2 becomes 20x - 15y = 10

9x + 15y = 48

20x - 15y = 10

___________

29x = 58

x = 58/29 =>2

x =2

now x in eq.1

3(2) + 5y = 16

6 + 5y = 16

5y = 10

y = 10/5 => 2

y = 2

therefore,

x =2

y = 2
