Solve the system of linear equations by elimination −2x+3y=7 and 5x+8y=−2

Hey!

Here's how you would solve it with elimination:

-2x + 3y = 7

5x + 8y = -2

Multiply first equation by 5 and the second one by 2:

-10x + 15y = 35

10x + 16y = -4

Add the two equations:

-10x + 15y = 35

+

10x + 16y = -4

31y = 31

y = 1

Plug this back into one of the original equation:

5x + 8y = -2

5x + 8(1) = -2

5x + 8 = -2

5x = -10

x = -2

Now you have your

y = 1

x = -2

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.
