Equation 1: x+y=3Equation 2: -x+5y=-15Step 1: Check to see if any variables (x or y) can be eliminated. As there is x in equation 1 and -x in equation 2, x can be eliminated by adding the equations togeth...

7x < -2 + 2x5x < -2x< -2/5

In my opinion the easiest way of approaching simultaneous equations is to first number your equations. 5x+2y=82x+y=7This helps avoid confusion later in the working. Next choose the variable you want to s...

Step 1) Replace f(x) with y: y= 2x - 7
Step 2) Switch around the x and y values: x = 2y - 7
Step 3) Solve to find y by itself: x = 2y - 7 x ...

x = 3, y = 2
