1) 3x – y = 5 and 5x + 2y =12
Using Elimination Method
Step 1. If the two equations doesn’t have any additive inverse, multiply one or both equation by a number so that it will have an additive inverse. In this example we will multiply the 1st equation by 2.
(3x – y = 5)2 ——-> 6x – 2y = 10
Step 2. Now that the two equations have an additive inverse, you can eliminate one of the variables by adding the two equations.
6x - 2y = 10 Note: The numbers and variable in bold will be added while the
5x + 2y = 12 variables in Italics will be eliminated.
11x = 22 Divide by 11
x = 2
Step 3. To solve for y, substitute 2 for x, using any of the equation.
3x – y = 5
3(2) -y = 5 Substitute x = 2
6 – y = 5
- y = 5 – 6 Transpose 6
- y = – 1 Divide both side by -1
y = 1
Step 4. Check.
3x – y = 5 l 5x + 2y = 12
3(2) – 1 = 5 l 5(2) +2(1) = 12
6 – 1 = 5 l 10 + 2 = 12
5 = 5 l 12 = 12
therefore the solution is (2, 1)
Post your questions…
1) x + 2y = -7 and 5x – 3y = 30
By substitution method:
Step 1. Find an equation to be used as a substitute to the other equation.
x + 2y = -7 –> x = -7 – 2y
Step 2. Substitute the equation to the other equation.
x = -7 – 2y
5x – 3y = 30
5 (-7 – 2y) – 3y = 30
-35 – 10y – 3y = 30
-10y – 3y = 30 + 35
-13y = 65 Divide by -13
y = -5
Step 3. Substitute -5 to y and solve the other variable.
x = -7 – 2y
x = -7 – 2(-5)
x = -7 + 10
x = 3
Step 4. Check
(3, -5)
x + 2y = -7 l 5x – 3y = 30
3 + 2(-5) = -7 l 5(3) – 3(-5) = 30
3 – 10 = -7 l 15 + 15 = 30
- 7 = – 7 l 30 = 30
Therefore the solution is (3, -5).

THANKS….
Many students nowadays are having difficulty in math. Many reasons they’re giving me is that it is hard to understand and they can’t apply it in their everyday livings. So I’ve decided to make some point of views or advice to all the students that are having difficulty with math.
JUST remember this tip and you will enjoy MATH in your everyday living!!!
