2x + 2y = 14 eqn 1
2x - y = 5 eqn 2
Solve for X and Y.
Simplify eqn 2 to solve for y
2x - y = 5
subtract sx from both sides
-y = 5 - 2x
multiple both sides by -1
y = 2x - 5
substitute 2x - 5 into eqn 1 for y
2x + 2y = 14
2x + 2(2x -5) = 14
2x + 4x - 10 = 14
6x - 10 = 14
add 10 to both sides
6x = 24
divide both sides by 10
x= 4
Substitute x = 4 into eqn 2
y = 2(4) - 5
y = 8 - 5
y = 3
X = 4 and y = 3

Can you tell me how to graph -2x equals 2y plus 5?
-2x=2y+5 +2x -2y -2y=2x+5 /-2 y=-1/1+2.5
What are the solutions to the simultaneous equation of 3x plus 2y equals 5x plus 2y equals 14 showing work?
If: 3x+2y = 5x+2y = 14 Then: 3x+2y = 14 and 5x+2y =14 Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd equation: 2x = 0 Therefore by substitution the solutions are: x = 0 and y = 7
How do you solve 2y equals 4x plus 4?
2y = 4x + 4y = 2x + 2
What is -2x plus 2y equals 4?
-2x + 2y = 4 is equivalent to twice -2 + y = 2 which is the equation of a straight line.
5x-2y plus 3z-2x-y-4z equals?
5x-2y+3z-2x-y-4z=3x-3y-z
