Question

Solve the following question
of simultancous equations by the elimination method.
7x+2y=24; &x+2y= 30 (please write all the steps)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = (-1) and y = 15.5 or can also be written as 31/2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 2y = 24

 x + 2y = 30

(-)   (-)       (-)

____________

(7x - x) + (2y- 2y) = 24 - 30

6x = -6

x = ( -1 )

Putting the value of x in 2nd given equation

x + 2y = 30

(-1) + 2y = 30

2y = 31

y = 31/2 = 15.5

x = (-1) and y = 31/2 that can also be written as 15.5
