If you mean: 2y+5x = 13 and 2y-3x = 5 then x = 1 and y = 4
If: 3x+2y = 5x+2y = 7 Then: 3x+2y = 7 and 5x+2y = 7 Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd equation: 2x = 0 or x = o By substitution: x = 0 and y = 3.5
If: 3x+2y = 5x+2y = 7 which is the same as 7 = 7 = 7 Then: 3x+2y = 7 and 5x+2y = 7 Subtracting equations: x = 0 Therefore by substitution: x = 0 and y = 3.5
-5(x + 2y) -3x + 8y + 5 = -5x -10y -3x + 8y + 5 = -8x -2y + 5
3x+2y=20 5x-2y=1 (3x+2y) + (5x-2y)= 20+1 3x+5x= 21....... 8x=21.........x=2 5/8 Subsitute x=3(2 5/8)+ 2y=20........... 7 7/8 +2y=20.........2y= 20- 7 7/8....... y=6 1/16
