ANSWER: y = 2; x = -1/5
SOLUTION:
1) First solve for y. You can do this by adding the two equations together:
5x - 2y = -5
y - 5x = 3
Notice that you have a positive 5x on the first equation, and a minus 5x on the second equation, so they both cancel out and you can re-write the equation as follows:
- 2y = -5
y = 3
Add up these 2 equations and you get:
- 1y = -2 or y = 2
2) Then solve for x by replacing y with 2. You can use any of the 2 equations from the problem.
5x - 2(2) = -5
5x - 4 = -5
5x = -5 + 4
5x = -1
x = -1/5
