5x + 3y = 17 is in its simplest form because there are no alike terms to combine.
Multiply the bottom equation by -1
2x + 3y = 17 3x + 4y = 24 (2x + 3x) + (3y + 4y) = (17 + 24) 5x + 7y = 41
5x+3y

How do you add 2x plus 3y equals 18 in 5x-y equals 11
A system? Try elimination 3(8X - Y = 4) 5X + 3Y = 17 24X - 3Y = 12 5X + 3Y = 17 -------------------------+ 29X = 29 X = 1 -----------find Y 8(1) - Y = 4 - Y = - 4 Y = - 1 -----------check By inspection one can see this is inconsitent
No.

If 5x plus 3y equals 13, the x equals 2 and y equals 1. This is because 5x2=10 and 3x1=3, and 10+3=13.

x = 8y = 6(5x8) + (3x6) = 58(5x8) - (3x6) = 22
