Solve for x and y using elimination.
2x+5y=-23
5x+13y=-60

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1 ;  y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = -23  --------------(i)

5x + 13y = -60 ----------(ii)

(i)*5        10x + 25y = - 115

(ii)*(-2)   -10x - 26y = 120       {add the two equations}

                    -1y = 5                {Now x is eliminated}

                      y = 5/-1

       y = -5

y = -5 in equation (i)

2x + 5*(-5) = -23

2x - 25 = -23

2x = -23 +25

2x = 2

x = 2/2

x = 1

                       

Answer 2

Answer(x,y)=(1,-5) I think this would be your answer not a 100% sure.
