QuestionSolve for x\mathrm{x} and y\mathrm{y} using substitution or elimination from these equations: 5x+1=y+55x + 1 = y + 5 and 10x+8=13y10x + 8 = 1 - 3y.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The system of equations is linear. . The system of equations has a solution.

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations. We can start with the first equation by isolating y\mathrm{y}.
y=5x+15y =5x +1 -5

STEP 3

implify the equation to get y\mathrm{y} in terms of x\mathrm{x}.
y=5xy =5x -

STEP 4

Now, we substitute y\mathrm{y} from the first equation into the second equation. This gives us a new equation in terms of x\mathrm{x} only.
10x+8=13(x4)10x +8 =1 -3(x -4)

STEP 5

Expand the right side of the equation.
10x+8=115x+1210x +8 =1 -15x +12

STEP 6

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.
10x+8=15x+1310x +8 = -15x +13

STEP 7

Rearrange the equation to get all terms involving x\mathrm{x} on one side and the constant term on the other side.
10x+15x=1310x +15x =13 -

STEP 8

Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
25x=525x =5

STEP 9

olve for x\mathrm{x} by dividing both sides of the equation by25.
x=5/25x =5 /25

STEP 10

implify the right side of the equation to get the value of x\mathrm{x}.
x=0.2x =0.2

STEP 11

Now that we have the value of x\mathrm{x}, we can substitute this into the equation for y\mathrm{y} that we derived in3.
y=5(0.)4y =5(0.) -4

STEP 12

implify the right side of the equation to get the value of y\mathrm{y}.
y=4y = -4

STEP 13

implify the right side of the equation to get the value of y\mathrm{y}.
y=3y = -3The solution to the system of equations is x=0.2\mathrm{x} =0.2 and y=3\mathrm{y} = -3.
