I’m supposed to solve this by eliminating the x variable

Mathematics

Answer:

the answer is (-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use elimination by addition / subtraction:

-6x - 2y =  14

6x + 7y = 11

-------------------

        5y   = 25, so y = 5.

Substituting 5 for y in the 2nd equation, we get:

6x + 7(5) = 11, or:

6x + 35 = 11, or

6x = -24, or x = -4.

Thus, the answer is (-4, 5).  Please double check to ensure you have copied down both system of equations and answer correctly.

Check:  Is (-4, 5) a solution to this system?

Subst. -4 for x and 5 for y in the first equation:

            -3(-4) - (5) = 7

               12 - 5 = 7  YES

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

y = -x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 5; m = -1     Substitute the values

  y – 5 = -1(x + 1)          Remove parentheses

  y – 5 = -x - 1              Add 5 to each side

       y = -x + 4

The graph is a straight line with a y-intercept at y = +4 and a slope = -10/10

= -1.
