2x − 5y = 16
3x + 2y = 5
can you also explain how you did it. Thanks :)

x=3

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 16

3x + 2y = 5

Solve for x in the first equation.

2x - 5y = 16

2x = 16 + 5y

x = (16 + 5y)/2

x = 8 + 5/2y

Put x as 8 + 5/2y in the second equation and solve for y.

3(8+5/2y) + 2y = 5

24+15/2y + 2y = 5

24 + 19/2y = 5

19/2y = 5-24

19/2y = -19

y = -2

Put y as -2 in the first equation and solve for x.

2x - 5(-2) = 16

2x +10 = 16

2x = 16-10

2x = 6

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
