Question

mathematics please help me with this one​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=8. ------- (1)

3x-4y= -5. ---------(2)

multiple equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2

we get,

6x+9y=24

6x-8y= -10

change the sign

cancel 6x and 6x

we get,

17y=34

y=34/17

y=2

substitute y=2 in equation (1)

2x+3y=8

2x+3(2)=8

2x+6=8

2x=8-6

2x=2

x=1
