Solve the simultaneous equations 5x + 2y = 4 and x - y - 5 =0
First label the equations. 1: 5x + 2y = 4 . 2: x - y - 5 = 0 . Rearrange equation 2 . 2: y = x - 5 Substitute equation 2 into equation 1 . 5x + 2( x - 5 ) = 4 . 7x = 14 . x = 2 . Substitute x = 2 into equation 1 . 5(2) + 2y = 4 . y = -3 . so our solution is x = 2 and y = -3
