Answer

Solutions: (3.5, 10)

Work Step by Step

Our two equations are: 1. 4x+2y=34 2. 10x-4y=-5 First lest multiply the first equation by a scalar of 2. We get: 1. 8x+4y=68 2. 10x-4y=-5 Now lets add the two equations. That gives us: 18x=63 (Divide both sides by 18) x=3.5 Now lets substitute this value of x into the first equation to get the value of y. 4(3.5)+2y=34 (Simplify) 14+2y=34 (Subtract 14 from both sides) 2y=20 (Divide both sides by 2) y=10 So our solution is (3.5, 10)
