Question

If 3x + 5y = 8 and 5x + 2y = 24 then x-y =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=8 ..Eq...1

5x+2y=24 ..Eq...2

x-y=?

multiplaying..Eq...1 with 5 and..Eq...2 with 5

15x+25y=40

15x+10y=120

then

15y=-80

y =-80/15

now

..Eq...1 in

15x+25(-80/15)=40

15x-133.334=40

15x=40+133.334

x=40+133.334/15

x= 40.889

and than,

for..Eq...2

15(40.889)+10y=120

613.335+10y=120

10y=120-613.335

y= 120-613.335/10

y= -58.6665

Now

x-y=?

40.889+58.6665=99.5554
