Answer:
x=2, y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll be using substitution method.
First label the 2 equations.
3x +2y= 4 -----(1)
2y= 8 -5x -----(2)
subst. (2) into (1):
3x + 8-5x= 4
3x-5x =4-8 (bring x terms to 1 side, constant to the other)
-2x= -4 (simplify)
2x= 4
x= 4÷2 (÷2 on both sides)
x= 2 (simplify)
subst. x=2 into (2):
2y= 8-5(2)
2y= 8 -10 (expand)
2y= -2 (simplify)
y= -2 ÷2
y= -1
