Answer:
x = 3
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
→You can use the elimination method. To do this you must have either the x or y-values have the same value, but opposite signs. For this, we can choose y:
4x + 2y = 10
5x + 3y = 12
→Multiply (4x + 2y = 10) by -3, and (5x + 3y = 12) by 2:
-12x - 6y = -30
10x + 6y = 24
____________
-2x = -6
→Divide both sides by -2:
x = 3
→Plug in 3 for x into an equation:
4x + 2y = 10
4(3) + 2y = 10
12 + 2y = 10
2y = -2
y = -1
