System of equations-4× 7y=-8-5× 6y=1

1 answer:

4 0

-4x + 7y = -8 . . . (1)
-5x + 6y = 1 . . . .(2)

(1) x 5 => -20x + 35y = -40 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => -20x + 24y = 4 . . . . .(4)

(3) - (4) => 11y = -44 => y = -44/11 = -4
From (2), -5x + 6(-4) = 1 => -5x - 24 = 1 => -5x = 1 + 24 = 25 => x = 25/-5 = -5

Therefore, x = -5, y = -4
