By using elimination method,
5x + 7y = 17 ______(1)
3x - 2y = 7 _______(2)
Multiply, equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5.
× 3
15x + 21y = 51 _____(3)
× 5
15x - 10y = 20 _____(4)
Subtract equation (4) from (3),
+ 21y = 51
(+) - 10y = (-)20
_________________
31y = 31
y =
y = 1
Now, put the value of y in eq (1),
5x + 7(1) = 17
5x + 7 = 17
5x = 17 - 7
5x = 10
