Answer:
For the given expression: [tex]X = (\frac{10}{3}) , Y = (\frac{26}{3})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given expression in statement form is given as:
5 X minus Y equals 6 + negative 2 X plus Y = 8
Now, converting the given statement mathematically, we get:
5X - Y = 6 + (-2X) + Y = 8
Now, considering first and the last terms,we get:
5 X - Y = 8 .... (1)
and , considering second and the last terms,we get:
6 + (-2X) + Y = 8 or, -2X + Y = 2 ......... (2)
Adding (1) and (2) , we get:
5 X - Y - 2 X + Y = 8 + 2
or, 3 X = 10
or, X = 10/3 = 3.34
Now, 5X - Y = 8
or, [tex]5(\frac{10}{3}) - Y = 8\\ \implies Y = \frac{50}{3} - 8 = \frac{50 - 24}{3} = \frac{26}{3} \\\implies Y = \frac{26}{3}[/tex]
Hence, for the given expression:
[tex]X = (\frac{10}{3}) , Y = (\frac{26}{3})[/tex]
