if 3x+5y=9; 5x+3y=7 find x-y
Answers
Answer:
HELLO DEAR,
3X + 5Y = 9 -------------(1)
5X +3Y = 7 ----------------(2)
SUBTRACTING---(1) from----(2)
we get
3x+5y = 9
5x+3y = 7
(-)_(-)___(-)
——————
-2x +2y = 2
=> -x + y = 1----------(3)
adding ---(2) and --(1)
3x +5y = 9
5x +3y = 7
——————
8x + 8y = 16
=> x + y = 2----------(4)
from--(3) and ---(4)
we get,
-x + y = 1
x + y = 2
————
2y = 3
=> y = 3/2 Put in --(3)
we get,
-x +3/2 = 1
=> x = 3/2 - 1
=> x = (3-2)/2
=> x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 9
solve for x : 3x = 9 - 5y
3x / 3 = 9 - 5y / 3
x = 9 - 5y / 3
x = - 5y / 3 + 3
solve for y : 5y = 9 - 2x
5y / 5 = 9 - 3x / 5
y = 9 - 3x / 5
5x + 3y = 7
solve for x : 5x = 7 - 3y
5x / 5 = 7 - 3y / 5
x = 7 - 3y / 5
solve for y : 3y = 7 - 5x
3y / 3 = 7 - 5x / 3
y = 7 - 5x / 3
