Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
because i did it its 5
The answer to your question is 5,000.
If you put 0 in the place of x or y, which every one you choose, it will cancel it or and you can just divide the number next to it by the answer (-20, 20). Take it one step at a time, don't try to do both at the same time.
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
Step 1: set equations equal to eachother
2x+2=x-1
which equals to x=-3
so the answer is one.
