Question

Find x and y in the system of equations:

Answer 1

Answer:

Y= -8

X= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

apply -(-a)=a rule

-23+4*8/3

-23+4*8=9

9/3

=3

2y-(3)=-19

y= -8

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two simultaneous equations:

3x + 4y = -23

2y - x = -19

Solve for y in the second equation.

2y = -19 + x

y = -19/2 + 1/2x

Put y as -19/2 + 1/2x in the first equation and solve for x.

3x + 4(-19/2 + 1/2x) = -23

3x + 2x - 38 = -23

5x - 38 = -23

5x = -23 + 38

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Put x as 3 in the second equation and solve for y.

2y - 3 = -19

2y = -19 + 3

2y = -16

y = -16/2

y = -8
