Answer:
D) x=-3, y=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 7y = 22
x + 3y= -24
9x - 7y = 22
x= -24-3y
9(-24-3y)-7y=22
x= -24-3y
-216-27y-7y=22
x= -24-3y
-34y=22+216
x= -24-3y
-34y=238
x= -24-3y
y=238/(-34)
x=-24-3y
y=-7
x=-24-3*(-7)
y=-7
x=-24+21
y=-7
x=-3
(x,y)=(-3,-7)
Answer: Choice B)
2x+5(2x+3) = 3
============================================
Reasoning:
We start with the second equation 2x+5y = 3
Since y = 2x+3 from the first equation, we can replace every copy of y with (2x+3). This replacement is valid because y and 2x+3 are the same.
So that's how we go from 2x+5y = 3 to 2x+5(2x+3) = 3
This replacement is done to get rid of the y variable, and it allows us to solve for x later on.
