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

3x - y   = 5
5x - 2y =
3

First, multiply everything in the first equation by
2

By multiplying, your equation should look
like

6x - 2y =
10

5x - 2y =
3   subtract the -2y with -2y ( which means subtract 6x with 5x and 10
with 3)

By subtracting, your equation should look
like

x = 7 which is your
answer for " x "

Now, plug 7 into one of the
equation

3 ( 7 ) - y = 5 now
multiply 7 with 3

By multiplying, your equation should look
like

21 - y = 5 now subtract
both sides by 21

By subtracting your equation should look
like

-y  = -16 now divide both
sides by -1

By dividing, your equation should look
like

y =
16

So your answer is x = 7  
;    y = 16
