One possible counterexample is:

-1

Explanation:

The set of integers contains the set of whole numbers and negative numbers, but does not include fractions or decimals.

Multiplying positive 2 by any negative number will result in a negative product. Any negative number will be smaller than positive two; thus any negative number and 2 will have a product smaller than 2.

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x and y values with a comma.

Serga [27]

Ok so in solving systems of linear equations, we first find the value of a variable. By looking at the equations, solving for x by using the second equation seems the easiest.

x - y = -5

x = -5 + y

x = y - 5

Then we plug in the equation of x into the first equation and solve for y.

x - 2y = 19

y - 5 - 2y = 19

-3y - 5 = 19

-3y = 24

-y = 8

y = -8

Now we plug in y = -8 in the solved equation for x

x = y - 5

x = -8 - 5

x = - 13

Therefore, x = -13 and y = -8

Hope this helps!
