Answer:
[tex]y = -3[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3x + 2y = 0[/tex]
[tex]x - 5y=17[/tex]
to use the elimination you have to make one of the numbers same
so
[tex]3(x-5y=17)[/tex]
and you would have to change the sign so that both of the 3x could cancel out.
New system of equation
[tex]3x + 2y = 0[/tex]
[tex]-3x+15y=-51[/tex]
[tex]17y=-51[/tex]
[tex]y = -3[/tex]
so we know the y value so now you could find the x value take one equation
[tex]x - 5y=17[/tex]
[tex]x +15=17[/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
you could try it with both of the equations
[tex]3x + 2y = 0[/tex]
[tex]3x + - 6=0[/tex]
[tex]3x-6=0[/tex]
[tex]3x=6[/tex]
[tex]x=6/3[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
