Step-by-step explanation:
5x - y = 6 and -2x + y = 8
1/ 5x - y = 6
=> y = 5x - 6
2/ -2x + y = 8
Substitute 1/ into 2/ we will have:
-2x + (5x - 6) = 8
=> -2x + 5x - 6 = 8
=> 3x = 14
=> x = [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] <=> y = [tex]\frac{52}{3}[/tex]
- However, the question asked for the final equation when adding 5x - y = 6 and -2x + y = 8 => The correct answer will be: 3x = 14
