Answer:
15x - 4y =-50 -----(i)
3x - 2y=-16 --------(ii)
Using Substitution
From (i)
15x=4y-50
x=4y-50/15
Substitute x=4y-50/[15] into eqn (ii)
3x - 2y= -16
3[4y-50]/15 - 2y =-16
Multiply through by 15 to clear the fraction
3(4y - 50) - 30y=-240
12y - 150 -30y=-240
12y-30y=-240+150
-18y = -90
y=90/18
y=5.
Substitute into any eqn of choice to get x
3x - 2y=-16
3x - 2(5)=-16
3x - 10=-16
3x=-16+10
3x=-6
x=-6/3
x=-2.
x= -2
y=5
Answer:
(3, - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 4y = -11
2x + 3y = -9
Multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by - 5 to cancel out the x's.
10x - 8y = - 22
- 10x - 15y = 45
Cancel out x's.
-8y = - 22
- 15y = 45
Add like terms.
- 23y = 23
Can't have a negative variable to flip them.
-23 = 23y
Divide.
y = - 1
Input y into one of the equations and solve for x.
2x + 3(-1) = -9
Simplify.
2x -3 = -9
Cancel out -3 by adding 3.
2x = -6
Divide.
x - -3
