Full solution

Q. Solve the system of equations using elimination: 2x+3y=14 2 x+3 y=-14 and x+5y=0 x+5 y=0
  1. Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.\newline2x+3y=142x + 3y = -14\newlinex+5y=0x + 5y = 0
  2. Multiply and Set Up: Multiply the second equation by 2-2 to set up for elimination of xx.2(x+5y)=2(0)-2(x + 5y) = -2(0)2x10y=0-2x - 10y = 0
  3. Eliminate x: Add the modified second equation to the first equation to eliminate x.\newline(2x+3y)+(2x10y)=14+0(2x + 3y) + (-2x - 10y) = -14 + 0\newline2x2x+3y10y=142x - 2x + 3y - 10y = -14\newline0x7y=140x - 7y = -14
  4. Solve for y: Solve for y.\newline7y=14-7y = -14\newliney=147y = \frac{-14}{-7}\newliney=2y = 2
  5. Substitute and Find xx: Substitute y=2y = 2 into the second original equation to find xx.x+5(2)=0x + 5(2) = 0x+10=0x + 10 = 0x=10x = -10
  6. Write Ordered Pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair (x,y)(x, y).\newlineThe solution is (10,2)(-10, 2).
