Answer:
x = 3
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 2........i
2x + 3y = 0........ii
Let's start by eliminating x, so we multiply i by 2 and ii by 4
2|4x + 5y = 2
4|2x + 3y = 0
So that we have
8x + 10y = 4..........iii
8x + 12y = 0..........iv
Subtracting iv from III, we have
-2y = 4
y = 4/-2
y = -2
Going ahead and substituting this value of y in eqn i, we have
4x + 5(-2) = 2
4x - 10 = 2
4x = 2 + 10
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
