Answer:
(3, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 5y = 24 → (1)
- 3x - 6y = 9 → (2)
Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term, that is
- 11y = 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = - 3
Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
3x - 5(- 3) = 24
3x + 15 = 24 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 3
solution is (3, - 3 )
