Given the equations:
2x-3y =
12 .............(1)
x+5y =
14.................(2)
We need to solve for x and
y.
We will use the substitution method to
solve.
From (2) we will rewrite x=
14-5y
Now we will substitute into
(1).
==> 2x-3y =
12
==> 2(14-5y) - 3y =
12
==> 28 - 10y - 3y =
12
==> -13y =
-16
==> y=
16/13
==> x= 14-5y = 14- 5*16/13 =
102/13
==> x=
102/13
Then the answer is: x= 102/13 and y=
16/13
