To solve the system of equations:
2x + 5y = 103x - 2y = 1
We can use the elimination method by first multiplying the second equation by 5:
15x - 10y = 5
Now, we can add the first equation to this new equation:
17x = 15
Now we can solve for x:
17x = 15x = 15/17
Next, we can substitute this value back into one of the original equations. Let's use the first equation:
2(15/17) + 5y = 1030/17 + 5y = 105y = 170/17 - 30/175y = 140/17y = 140/ (17 * 5)y = 140/85
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is: x = 15/17 and y = 140/85.
To solve the system of equations:
2x + 5y = 10
3x - 2y = 1
We can use the elimination method by first multiplying the second equation by 5:
15x - 10y = 5
Now, we can add the first equation to this new equation:
2x + 5y = 1015x - 10y = 5
17x = 15
Now we can solve for x:
17x = 15
x = 15/17
Next, we can substitute this value back into one of the original equations. Let's use the first equation:
2(15/17) + 5y = 10
30/17 + 5y = 10
5y = 170/17 - 30/17
5y = 140/17
y = 140/ (17 * 5)
y = 140/85
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is: x = 15/17 and y = 140/85.
