a) Solve using algebra
{5x-y=6
2x+3y=-1
Solution
Given that
5x - y = 6 2x + 3y = - 1
y = 5x - 6
Substitute y= 5x - 6 in
2x + 3y = - 1
2x + 3 (5x - 6 ) = - 1
2x + 15x - 18 = -1
17x = -1 + 18
17x = 17
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 in
y = 5x - 6
y = 5(1) - 6
y = 5 - 6
y = -1
Therefore,
Solutions are { x } = { 1 } , { y } = { - 1 }
