Question

complete the following activity to solve the simultaneous equation : 3x + 2y = 29 , 10x - 2y = 36
3x + 2y = 29................( 1 )
10x - 2y = 36 ................( 2 )
equation ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

+ 3x + 2y = 29
+ + 10x - 2y = 36
( ) ( )
therefore x = ( )
put the value of x in equation one
3x ( ) + 2y = 29
y = ( )​

Answer 1

Answer:

By substraction method substract 1 from 2

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore,

10x - 2y = 36

+ 3x + 2y = 29

_______________

13x = 65

x = 65/13

x = 5

now, 3(5) + 2y =29

2y = 29-15

y = 14/2

y = 7
