Question 1

Points: 1
Use elimination to solve the system of equations:
10x + 5y = 30
5x - 3y = -7
10x + 5y = 30
5x - 3y = -7
Explanation
Multiply the second equation by 2 to get 10x - 6y = -14. Subtracting this from the first equation gives 11y = 44, so y = 4. Substituting y = 4 into the first equation gives x = 1.
