Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method to solve. 6=−4x+y−5x−y=21 Enter your answer in the boxes.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-3 and y= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

6=-4x+y and -5x-y = 21

6+4x=y we substitute y in the second equation

-5x-(6+4x)=21

-9x-6=21

-9x=27

x=-3

we substiture x in the second

-5(-3)-y =21

15-y=21

15-21=y

y=-6
