Answer: x=-10, y=13
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-3x+2y=56\\-5x-2y=24[/tex]
+2y-2y = 0, eliminating y is much easier. So -3x-5x = -8x and 56+24 = 80
[tex]-8x=80\\x=-10[/tex]
Substitute x in any equations but only 1 equation (Don't substitute in both equations.)
For me, I'd substitute x in -3x+2y=50
[tex]-3(-10)+2y=56\\30+2y=56\\2y=56-30\\2y=26\\y=13[/tex]
So the answer is x = -10, y = 13
