Question
4.
$5x + 3y = 5$
$5x + 2y = 10$
Step1: Label the equations
Let
$$5x + 3y = 5 \tag{1}$$
$$5x + 2y = 10 \tag{2}$$
Step2: Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)
Subtract to eliminate $5x$:
$$(5x + 3y) - (5x + 2y) = 5 - 10$$
$$y = -5$$
Step3: Substitute $y=-5$ into eq(1)
Solve for $x$:
$$5x + 3(-5) = 5$$
$$5x - 15 = 5$$
$$5x = 5 + 15$$
$$5x = 20$$
$$x = \frac{20}{5} = 4$$
