Question

Solve the following equation: x - 2y = -10; 3x - 5y = -12​

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 26

y is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = -10 --(1)

3x - 5y = -12​ --(2)

x - 2y = -10

x = -10 + 2y --(3)

put value of x in eq.--(2)

3(-10 + 2y) - 5y = -12

-30 + 6y - 5y = -12

y = -12 + 30

y =  18

put value of y in eq.--(3)

x = -10 + 2(18)

x = -10 + 36

x = 26
