Solve the system of equations by elimination:
3x+y=5
2x-2y=-2

NO LINKS PLEASE

Sagot :

First divide both sides of 2x-2y=-2 by 2 to get x-y=-1. Now, you can simply add the equations together and you’d get 4x=4. Divide both sides by 4 to get x = 1. Then, plug in the 1 to one of the original equation (I used 2x-2y=-2):
2(1)-2y=-2
2-2y=-2
-2y=-4
y=2

So x = 1 and y = 2! :) hope this helps

Answer: (1, 2)

             x = 1  and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 5  Multiply this equation by 2   =>    6x + 2y = 10

2x -2y = -2                                               =>  + 2x - 2y = -2

                                                                       8x         = 8

                    **divide both sides by 8 =>         x  =  1

                   *** substitute 1 for x in either equation to get y

                                   

                     3(1) + y = 5

                    -3             -3

                             y = 2
