2x - 4y = -2
2x + 3y = -16
------------------subtract
-7y = 14
y = 14/-7
y = -2
2x - 4y = -2
2x - 4(-2) = -2
2x + 8 = -2
2x = -2 -8
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5
answer x = -2 and y = -5
check:
2(-5)- 4(-2) = -2
-10 +8 = -2
-2 = -2.....true
2x + 3y = -16
2(-5)+3(-2) = -16
-10 + (-6) = -16
-16 = -16...true
I just took the test. The correct answer is:
Answer:
y = 3/4 + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
you must put the equation into the form of y = mx + b
add 6x to both sides and put it in front of the 56
8y = 6x + 56
y must be by itself by x does not so we divide everything by 8
y = 6/8x + 7
we must simplify the fraction 6/8
y = 3/4x + 7
