Answer:
(-1, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 7y = 10
3x + 2y = -7
The common multiple of the x coefficient is 12.
Multiple 3 to 4 to get 12; 4 to 3 to 12:
3(4x - 7y = 10)
4(3x + 2y = -7)
12x - 21y = 30
12x + 8y = -28
Subtract the two equations:
-29y = 58
y = -2
Substitute y = -2 to either 4x - 7y = 10 or 3x + 2y = -7. Typically, do the easier equation to solve:
3x + 2(-2) = -7
3x - 4 = -7
3x = -3
x = -1
The order pair solution is like a coordinate: (x, y)
You are welcome!
