Question

Mr. Berger assigned the following system of equations to be solved for homework.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = -12 ------------------(i)

4x + y = -10 -------------------(ii)

Multiply the (ii) equation by 3 and then add the two equations. So, now y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x

(i)                   2x - 3y   = -12

(ii) * 3             12x + 3y = -30

                     14x         = - 42

x = -42/14

x = -3
