Question

I need help with this!

Answer 1

Answer:

(-7, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to isolate a variable to get an equation for it.

Let's get an equation for x from the first equation:

x - 2y = 9

x = 2y + 9

Now that we know what x is in terms of y, lets plug it into our second equation:

3(2y + 9) - 5y = 19

6y + 27 - 5y = 19

y + 27 = 19

y = -8

Now that we know what y equals, let's plug it into our first equation and solve for x:

x - 2(-8) = 9

x + 16 = 9

x = -7

Now that we have x and y, we make our ordered pair, in terms of (x, y):

(-7, -8)

Hope this helps!
