Adding the two equations together, we have:
(6x - 5y) + (3x + 5y) = 27 + 36
Combining like terms, we get:
9x = 63
Dividing both sides of the equation by 9, we find:
x = 7
Substituting this value into the second equation, we have:
3(7) + 5y = 36
21 + 5y = 36
Subtracting 21 from both sides, we get:
5y = 15
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we find:
y = 3
So the solution to the system of equations is x = 7 and y = 3.
Solve the system of equations.
6x - 5y = 27
3x + 5y = 36 (1 point)
