Solve the following system of equations 15 x y 2 5x 4y 1

Solve the following system of equations: 1.5 x - y = -2 -5x + 4y = 14

1.5x - y = -2

-5x + 4y = 14

Solving by substitution

From equ 1---> y = 1.5x +2

So, substituting value of y in equation 2:

-5x + 4( 1.5x +2) = 14

-5x +6x +8 = 14

x = 6

y = 1.5x + 2 = 1.5*6 +2 = 11

Solution: x = 6 ; y =11
