Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method.

2x-3y=25
5x+3y=10

Elimination method is my favorite way to solve 2 equations like this written in standard form! First I'm going to rewrite the equations and mark numbers to make this explanation more clear.

2x-3y=251️⃣

5x+3y=102️⃣

Looking at these 2 equations we can see that there is a +3 and a -3. This could be eliminated by adding the 2 equations together! *Remember what is on the left side adds with the left side, and what's on the right side adds with the right side. Therefore we can do:

1️⃣+2️⃣

2x-3y+5x+3y=25+10

7x=35

x=5

Then we can substitute the value of x back into either of the 2 equations.

2*5-3y=25

10-3y=25

3y=-15

y=-5

Then write the 2 answers together.

{x=5

{

{y=-5

Now we can check our answers.

2*5-3*-5=10- -15= 10+15=25 Correct

5*5+3*-5= 25+ -15= 10 Correct

From this we can see that x=5 y=  - 5 are the correct answers!

correct choice is a

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line passing through the points and is

thus, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -6) and (-3, 0) is

slope =   (y2 -y1) ÷ (x2 -x1)

slope = (0 -0) / (-5, -7)

slope = 0 / -12 = 0

the slope of the line is zero.   it is perfectly horizontal.
