Solve the following equations for .v. 5x + 4y = 27 x-2y=11

Question

Accepted Answer

To solve these equations for .v, begin by finding a way to eliminatey. Multiply both sides of the second equation by2. 2(x-2y) = 2 x 11 2x-4y = 22 Add the new form of the second equation to the first equation, and solve forx. 5x + 4y = 27 2x--4y =22(+4 cancels -4) 7x 49 x=7
