Solve the following simultaneous equations 5x+2y= -15
x+2y=5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2y=-15
Step 1: Add -2y to both sides.
5x+2y+−2y=−15+−2y
5x=−2y−15
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{-2y-15}{5}[/tex]
x=[tex]\frac{-2-15}{5}[/tex]
x+2y=5
Step 1: Add -x to both sides.
x+2y+−x=5+−x
2y=−x+5
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]\frac{2y}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{-x+5}{2}[/tex]
y=[tex]\frac{-x+5}{2}[/tex]
