How do solve the following linear system?: # 5x+2y=2, 4x+3y=29 #? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Cem Sentin Nov 29, 2017 #x=-52/7# and #y=137/7# Explanation: #5*(4x+3y)-4*(5x+2y)=5*29-4*2# #7y=137#, so #y=137/7# Hence, #5x+2*137/7=2# #5x=-260/7#, so #x=-52/7# Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
