Solve each system by elimination. In systems with fractions, first clear denominators.
2x - 3y = -7
5x + 4y = 17

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the system of equations: \[2x - 3y = -7\] \[5x + 4y = 17\]
To use the elimination method, we want to eliminate one variable by making the coefficients of either \(x\) or \(y\) the same (or opposites) in both equations. Let's choose to eliminate \(y\).
Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the coefficients of \(y\), which are 3 and 4. The LCM is 12. Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 3 to get matching coefficients for \(y\): \[4(2x - 3y) = 4(-7) \Rightarrow 8x - 12y = -28\] \[3(5x + 4y) = 3(17) \Rightarrow 15x + 12y = 51\]
Add the two new equations to eliminate \(y\): \[(8x - 12y) + (15x + 12y) = -28 + 51\] This simplifies to: \[8x + 15x = 23x\] \[-12y + 12y = 0\] \[-28 + 51 = 23\] So, the resulting equation is: \[23x = 23\]
Solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 23: \[x = \frac{23}{23}\] Once you find \(x\), substitute it back into one of the original equations to solve for \(y\).

Systems of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations consists of two or more linear equations with the same variables. The goal is to find values for the variables that satisfy all equations simultaneously. Understanding how to interpret and set up these systems is essential for solving them.

Elimination Method

The elimination method involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the remaining variable. This technique often requires multiplying one or both equations by constants to align coefficients before elimination.

Clearing Fractions

When equations contain fractions, multiplying both sides by the least common denominator removes the fractions, simplifying calculations. Clearing denominators helps avoid errors and makes the elimination process more straightforward.
