Question

How do you solve the system using the elimination method for 5x - 3y = 4 and 3x - 5y = -4?

Answer 1

I found:
`x=2`
`y=2`

Explanation:

You can multiply the first equation by `-3`, the second by `5` and add together:
`{-15x+9y=-12`
`{15x-25y=-20` adding:
`-16y=-32`
`y=(-32)/-16=2`
back into the first equation:
`5x-6=4`
`x=10/5=2`
