Answer:
x = 6
y = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 7 ......... Equation 1
x = 2 - 4y .......... Equation 2
Substitute x that's equation 2 into equation 1 and solve for y
That's
2( 2 - 4y ) + 5y = 7
4 - 8y + 5y = 7
- 3y + 4 = 7
- 3y = 7 - 4
- 3y = 3
Divide both sides by - 3
y = - 1
Substitute the value of y into equation 1
That's
x = 2 - 4(-1)
x = 2 + 4
x = 6
Therefore the solutions are
x = 6
y = - 1
Hope this helps you
