10x - 8y =4 -5x + 3y = -9

Please solve with elimination i really need the help!!
please show work

x = 6

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, (10x - 8y = 4) and (- 5x + 3y = - 9) are two given equation

Now, Name the equation

10x - 8y = 4

take 2 as common we get

2(5x - 4y = 2)

5x - 4y = 2 ...(1)

- 5x + 3y = - 9 ...(2)

Now, Subtract (1) from (2)

5x - 4y = 2

- 5x + 3y = - 9

————————

- y = - 7

y = 7

Now, Put the value of y in equation (1) we get

5x - 4y = 2

5x - 4(7) = 2

5x - 28 = 2

5x = 28 + 2

5x = 30

x = 30÷5

x = 6

Thus, The value of x is 6 and y is 7

FOR VERIFICATION ONLY:

5x - 4y = 2

5(6) - 4(7) = 2

30 - 28 = 2

2 = 2

- 5x + 3y = - 9

- 5(6) + 3(7) = - 9

- 30 + 21 = - 9

- 9 = - 9

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
