To use the elimination method, you can subtract the two equations in a system of equations to eliminate one of the variables.
Subtract the two equations,
x+ y = 7
2 - 3y = 5
What is the resulting equation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • The resulting equation is '4y = 2'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there... I understood your "2" as a typo and considering it as x.

  •  x + y = 7  

       -(x - 3y = 5)

  •  x + y = 7  

       -x + 3y = -5

  • => 4y = 2  

Hence, the resulting equation is '4y = 2'

Hoped this helped.

Answer:

  • (6.5, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems a typo:

  • x + y = 7
  • x - 3y = 5

Subtract to eliminate x and solve for y:

  • x + y - x  + 3y = 7 - 5
  • 4y = 2
  • y = 0.5

Now you can find the value of x:

  • x + 0.5 = 7
  • x = 6.5
