Answer:
(- 2, - 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = - 1 → (1)
x + 4y = - 6 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 4y from both sides
x = - 6 - 4y → (3)
Substitute x = - 6 - 4y into (1)
2(- 6 - 4y) - 3y = - 1 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 12 - 8y - 3y = - 1
- 12 - 11y = - 1 ( add 12 to both sides )
- 11y = 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = - 1
Substitute y = - 1 into (3) for corresponding value of x
x = - 6 - 4(- 1) = - 6 + 4 = - 2
Solution is (- 2, - 1 )
Answer:
6 1.5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
When we substract 1 from any number then will get just previous number.
Example :
Let any number 17
17-1 =16
16 is the just previous number of 17
Therefore, A number -1 = previous number
Answer will be 1
