Q. What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?−2x+y=0−7x+3y=2□
Write Equations: Write down the equations to be subtracted.First equation: −2x+y=0Second equation: −7x+3y=2
Subtract Equations: Subtract the second equation from the first equation.(−2x+y)−(−7x+3y)=0−2This simplifies to −2x+y+7x−3y=−2
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.(−2x+7x)+(y−3y)=−2This simplifies to 5x−2y=−2
Check for Errors: Check the result for any mathematical errors. 5x−2y=−2 appears to be correctly obtained from the subtraction of the second equation from the first.
