Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = -7

4x + 2y = – 14

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x - y) = 2*-7

10x -2y = -14

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

10x -2y = -14

4x + 2y = – 14

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

14x = -28

Divide by 14

14x/14 = -28/14

x = -2

Now find y

4x+2y = -14

4*-2 +2y = -14

-8+2y = -14

Add 8 to each side

2y = -6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -6/2

y = -3

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ x=-2, \ y=-3 \  \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>I assume that you want to solve this system of two equations</u>

   (1) 5x - y  = -7

   (2) 4x + 2y = -14

We will multiply (1) by 2 and add to (2) so that we can eliminate the terms in y

2*(1)+(2) gives

   10x - 2y + 4x + 2y = -7*2 -14 = -14 - 14 = -28

   <=>

   14x = - 28 we can divide by 14 both parts

   x = -28/14 = -2

and then we replace x in (1)

   5*(-2)-y=-7

   -10-y=-7 add 7

   -10-y+7=0

   -3-y=0 add y

   -3 = y

which is equivalent to y = -3

do not hesitate if you have any question

The sum of a number y and 6.2 is at least -4.7<br> inequality:
xeze [42]

We are required to write an inequality for the expression and also solve it

The number y is at least 10.9

let

the unknown number = y

The sum of a number y and 6.2 = y + 6.2

y + 6.2 ≤ -4.7

y ≤ -4.7 - 6.2

y ≤ 10.9

Therefore,

The expression is represented by the inequality y + 6.2 ≤ -4.7 and y ≤ 10.9

Which equation can be solved by using this system of equations?
laila [671]
If you observe the two given equations, the left hand side of both equation is the same and is equal to y.

Since the left hand side of two equations is the same, we can conclude that the right hand side of two equations must also be the same. 

So, setting them right hand sides of both equations equal to each other and solving for x, we can find the solution to the simultaneous equations.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B
