I need help solving this equation:

y = 5 - x
3x - 4y = -20

and this equation

x - 2y = 5
12x + 4y = -10

Thanks!!!!!!

Substitute Method

y = 5 - x - - - - - - - -Equation 1
3x - 4y = - 20- - - - -Equation 2
- - - - - - - - - -

Insert the y value equation 1 into equation 2

3x - 4y = - 20

3x - 4(5 - x) = - 20

3x - 20 + x = - 20

4x - 20 = - 20

4x - 20 + 20 = - 20 + 20

4x = 0

4x/4 = 0/4

x = 0

The answer is x = 0

Insert the x value into equation 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - --

y = 5 - x

y = 5 - 0

y = 5

The answer is y = 5

Insert the y value into equation 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Check for equation 1

y = 5 - x

5 = 5 - 0

5 = 5

- - - - - - - - -

Check for equation 2

3x - 4y = - 20

3(0) - 4(5) = - 20

0 - 20 = - 20

- 20 = - 20

- - - - - - - - - -

The solution set is { 0, 5 }

Problem 2

Elimination by addition method

x - 2y = 5- - - - - - - -Equation 1
12x + 4y = - 10- - - -Equation 2
- - - - - - - - - - -

multiply eqation 1 by 2

x - 2y = 5

2(x) - 2(2Y) = 2(5)

2x - 4y = 10

- - - - - - - - - - -

2x - 4y = 10
12x + 4y = - 10
- - - - - - - - --

14x = 0

14x/14 = 0 / 14

x = 0

The answer is x = 0

Insert the x value into equation 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

x - 2y = 5

0 - 2y = 5

- 2y/2 = 5/- 2

y = - 2.5

The answer is y = - 2.5

Insert the y value into equation 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Check for eqation 1

x - 2y = 5

0 - 2(- 2.5) = 5

5 = 5

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Check for equation 2

12x + 4y = - 10

12(0) + 4(- 2.4) = - 10

0 + (- 10) = - 10

- 10 = - 10

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The above systems of equtaion was done by the elimihation by addition method. The substitute method also works.

- - - - - - - - -

The solution set is { 0, - 2.5 }

y = 5 - x
3x - 4y = -20


you put (5-x) instead of y in the second eq.

3x - 4(5-x) = -20
3x -20 +4x = -20
3x+4x = 0
7x = 0
x = 0
then put it in the first equation where y = 5-x
then y = 5
--------------------------------------
x - 2y = 5
12x + 4y = -10


x = 5 + 2y

then 12 (5+2y) + 4y = -10
60 + 24y + 4y = -10
28y = -70
y = - 2.5

then plug it in the first equation
x = 5 +2y
x = 5 + 2(-2.5)
= 5-5 = 0

y = 5 - x
3x - 4y = -20
sub y in equation 2
3x-4(5-x)=-20
3x-20+4x=-20
7x-20=-20
adding 20
7x=0
x=0
sub in equation 1
y=5-0=5

2.x - 2y = 5
12x + 4y = -10
eqn.!*2
2x-4y=10
12x+4y=-10
adding
14x=0
x=0
sub in eqn.1
0-2y=5
y=-5/2

First one ..........
y = 5 - x i.e. x + y = 5
3x - 4y = -20
Multiply the first eqn with 4 and add the resultant eqn to the second eqn .... this gives you ...... 7x = 0 and so, x = 0
That gives y = 5

Second one .........
x - 2y = 5
12x + 4y = -10 i.e. 6x + 2y = -5
Add these two eqns ..... gives you .......... 7x = 0 and so x = 0.
Then y = -5/2

5 - x = y
Multiply this equation by 3
15 - 3x = 3y

Add on to the other equation

-y = -5
y = 5

Plug into equation to solve for x

5 - 5 = y

x = 0

x = 0, y =5

Second one..

2x - 4y = 10

Add on to other equation

16x = 0
x = 0

Plug into equation to solve for y

0 - 2y = 5

y = -2.5

x = 0, y = -2.5
