Q. Solve the system of equations.2y−3x=−275y+3x=6x=□y=□
Identify operation to eliminate variable: Identify the operation to eliminate one of the variables. In this case, we can add the two equations directly to eliminate 'x'.
Add equations to eliminate 'x': Add the equations (2y−3x)+(5y+3x)=−27+6.This simplifies to 2y+5y=−27+6, which gives us 7y=−21.
Solve for 'y': Solve for 'y'. Dividing both sides of the equation by 7 gives us y=−721, which simplifies to y=−3.
Substitute y into equation: Substitute y=−3 into one of the original equations to solve for 'x'. We can use the first equation 2y−3x=−27. Substituting y gives us 2(−3)−3x=−27.
Simplify equation and solve for 'x': Simplify the equation and solve for 'x'. This gives us −6−3x=−27. Adding 6 to both sides gives us −3x=−27+6, which simplifies to −3x=−21.
Divide both sides to solve for 'x': Divide both sides by −3 to solve for 'x'. This gives us x=−3−21, which simplifies to x=7.
Write solution as coordinate point: Write the solution as a coordinate point. The solution is (7,−3).
