Answer:
x = 5/6
y = 8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+ 15y = 34
-6x + 5y = 3
multiply the second equation by 2
2*(-6x + 5y) = 3*2
-12x + 10y = 6
add the 1st equation and the modified 2nd equation (elimination)
12x+ 15y = 34
-12x + 10y = 6
---------------------
25y = 40
divide by 25
25y/25 = 40/25
y = 40/25 = 8/5
12x + 15y = 34
substitute y = 8/5
12x +15(8/5) = 34
12x +24 = 34
subtract 24 on each side
12x = 10
divide by 12
x = 10/12 = 5/6
