Q. Solve the system of equations.10x−3y−81=0−5x−7y−19=0x=□y=□
Multiply second equation by 2: Multiply the second equation by 2 to prepare for elimination of x.Calculation: 2×(−5x−7y=19)→−10x−14y=38
Add modified second equation to first equation: Add the modified second equation to the first equation to eliminate x. Calculation: (10x−3y=81)+(−10x−14y=38)→−17y=119
Solve for y: Solve for y.Calculation: −17y=119→y=−17119→y=−7
Substitute y=−7 into first equation: Substitute y=−7 into the first original equation to solve for x.Calculation: 10x−3(−7)=81→10x+21=81→10x=81−21→10x=60→x=1060→x=6
Write solution as coordinate point: Write the solution as a coordinate point.The solution is (6,−7).
