Hello!!
All values of y are solutions. So, you know the answer...
Good luck :)
Answer
let the first number be x
second number be y
5*(x)+y=-21---------->equation 1
2*(x)+y=-9------------->equation2
<h2>
eq1 * 2:</h2>
2(5x+y)=2*-21
10x+2y=-42
<h2>
eq2 * 5:</h2>
10x+5y=-45
10x+2y=-42
-(10x+5y=-45)
-----------------
0 - 3y=3
y=3/-3
<h2>
y=-1</h2><h3>
sub y=-1 in eq1;</h3><h3>
5x+y=-21</h3><h3>
5x+ -1=-21</h3><h3>
5x-1=-21</h3><h3>
5x=-21+1</h3><h3>
5x=20</h3><h3>
x=20/5</h3><h2>
x=4</h2><h2>
y=-1</h2>
What????????????????????????????????????????
