Question

X+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically

x+y+2=-5     equation 1

-2x-y+2=-1    equation 2

x-2y-2=0      equation 3

Add equation 1 + 2+ 3

x+y+2=-5 + -2x-y+2+1 + x-2y-2

x+y+2= -7+2+1-2x+x+y

x+y+2= -4-x+y

x+y+2+4+x-y= 0

2x+6= 0

2x= -6

divide both side by 2

x= -3

from equation 1 insert x

x+y+2=-5

since x=-3

then, -3+2+y= -5

-1+y= -5

y= -5+1

y= -4
