Solve the system of equations

-5x+13y+-7

5x+4y=24

y=

x=

The value of y is equal to 1. The value of x is equal to 4.

Because both equations have a term that will cancel out if they're added together, we're going to add both equations together.

-5x + 5x = 0

13y + 4y = 17y

-7 + 24 = 17

17y = 17

Divide both sides by 17.

y = 1

Now that we have a constant value of y, we can solve for x.

-5x + 13 (1) = - 7

-5x + 13 = - 7

Subtract 13 from both sides.

-5x = - 20

Divide both sides by - 5.

x = 4

the answer would be x = 4 ... i think
