I need to solve for x and y. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

x=-3, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

2x-3y=-9 Eqn 1

x+y = - 2 Eqn 2

From eqn 2:

$x=-y-2$

Putting x=-y-2 in eqn 1

$2(-y-2)-3y=-9\\-2y+4-3y=-9\\-5y-4=-9\\Adding\ 4\ on\ both\ sides\\-5y-4+4=-9+4\\-5y=-5\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ -5\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-5}{-5}\\y=1\\Putting\ y=1\ in\ eqn\ 2\\x+1=-2\\Subtracting\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\\x+1-1=-2-1\\x=-3$

Hence,

x=-3, y=1

I forgot how to do this, can someone help me-

Artyom0805 [142]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x/20 = -9

By cross multiplication,

x = -180

2) -168 = -14k

k = -168/-14

k = 12

3) -5m = -50

m = 10

4) -320 = -20n

n = 16

5) -4 = x - 5

x = 1

6) -6(-8 + n) = -54

42 - 6n = -54

-6n = -54 -52

6n = 106

n = 17.6

7) 3(x - 9) = -3

3x - 27 = -3

3x = 24

x = 8

8) 9k + 3 = -78

9k = -81

k = -9

9)4 + (n/4) = 8

By taking LCM,

16 + n/4 = 8

16 + n = 32

n = 16

10) -5r + 7 = -73

-5r = -80

r = 16

Hope it helps.
