2. A student is solving the system,
2x + 3y = 12
5x - 2y = 11
algebraically. Their work is shown below but is unfinished.
Continue where the student left off and solve the system.
2x + 3y = 12
5x - 2y = 11
=
2 (2x + 3y = 12)
3 (5x - 2y = 11)
4x + 6y = 24
15x – 6y = 33
-

Respuesta :

Answer:

The solution is x = 3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 6y = 24

15x – 6y = 33    Add these 2 equations:

19x = 57

x = 57/19

x = 3.          Now Substitute for x in the original equation:

2(3) + 3y = 12

3y = 12 - 6

2y = 6

y = 2.

Answer: x is 3 and y is 2
