what is the solution of the system? use elimination. 5x+6y=17 -10x-9y=-43
a. (–7, –3)
b. (7, 3)
c. (7, –3)
d. (–7, 3)

C.(7, –3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+6y=17

-10x-9y=-43

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x+6y)=17*2

10x +12y = 34

Add this equation to the second equation to eliminate x

-10x-9y=-43

10x +12y = 34

   3y = -9

Divide by 3

3y/3 = -9/3

y = -3

Now we need to find x

5x+6y = 17

5x +6(-3) = 17

5x-18 = 17

Add 18 to each side

5x-18+18 =17+18

5x =35

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 35/5

x =7

(7,-3)

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
