Solve the simultaneous equation using elimination method 5x+3y=17 and 7x-4y=32

To do this, you need to first eliminate one variable. For sake of simplicity, I will eliminate y

4 (5x+3y=17) + 3 (7x-4y=32)

20x+12y=68 + 21x-12y=96

41x=164

x=4

Knowing x=4, we are able to plug this into one of the two initial functions.

5 (4) + 3y=17

20+3y=17

3y=-3

y=-1
