Solve the system of equations: 3x-5y = 23 and 4x-5y = -7

3x-5y =
23................(1)


4x -5y = -7
.................(2)


We will use the elimination method to
solve.


We will subtract (1) from
(2).


==> x = -30


Now we
will substitute into (2) to find y.


==> 4x -5y =
-7


==> 4*-30 - 5y =
-7


==> -120 - 5y =
-7


==>5y = -120 + 7 =
-113


==> y=
-113/5


Then the answer is the pair ( -30,
-113/5)
