Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y:

If -3x + 9y = -21, and -3x +8y = -18, then -21 - y = -18

Add 18 to both sides:

-3 - y = 0, so y = -3

reconstruct new equation:

-3x + 9(-3) = -21, -3x + 8(-3) = -18

-3x + -27 = -21, -3x + -24 = -18

Using the new equation, solve for x:

add 24 to both sides of each equation :

-3x + -3 = 3, -3x = 6

x=-2
