Solve the simultaneous equation using elimination method 2/8+ 5/8?

To solve the simultaneous equation using the elimination method, we need to set up the two equations:

2x + 5y = 8
x - y = 3

To eliminate one of the variables, we can multiply the second equation by 5 to make the coefficients of y the same:

5(x - y) = 5(3)
5x - 5y = 15

Now we can add this equation to the first equation to eliminate y:

2x + 5y + 5x - 5y = 8 + 15
7x = 23
x = 23/7

Now we can substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to solve for y:

23/7 - y = 3
y = 23/7 - 3
y = 23/7 - 21/7
y = 2/7

Therefore, the solution to the simultaneous equations is x = 23/7 and y = 2/7.

The given equation is not in the form of simultaneous equations and cannot be solved using the elimination method.
