Math Problem Statement

from now on only give awnser no explanation −2x−5y= −15 minus, 9, x, plus, 15, y, equals, minus, 30 −9x+15y= −30

Solution

  1. Equation 1: 2x5y=15-2x - 5y = -15
  2. Equation 2: 9x+15y=30-9x + 15y = -30

To solve for xx and yy, we can use the elimination or substitution method. Here, elimination is straightforward by aligning terms and cancelling one of the variables.

  1. Multiply Equation 1 by 3 to make the coefficients of yy opposites:

    6x15y=45-6x - 15y = -45

  2. Now we have:

    6x15y=45-6x - 15y = -45 9x+15y=30-9x + 15y = -30

  3. Add the two equations:

    (6x9x)+(15y+15y)=4530(-6x - 9x) + (-15y + 15y) = -45 - 30 15x=75-15x = -75

  4. Solve for xx:

    x=5x = 5

  5. Substitute x=5x = 5 back into Equation 1 to find yy:

    2(5)5y=15-2(5) - 5y = -15 105y=15-10 - 5y = -15 5y=5-5y = -5 y=1y = 1

Solution: x=5x = 5, y=1y = 1
