Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:


Solve one equation for one variable  [tex]v[/tex]  then plug it into the other and solve for the other variable [tex]w[/tex] .

[tex]5v+4w=1\\5v = 1-4w\\v = \frac{1-4w}{5}[/tex]

Now plug [tex]v[/tex] into the second equation:

[tex]\\3(\frac{1-4w}{5}) - 6w = 2\\3(\frac{1-4w}{5}) = 2+ 6w \\\frac{3-12w}{5} = 2+ 6w\\3-12w = 10+ 30w\\-42w = 7\\w = \frac{7}{-42} \\w =-\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
