Question

5x +7 y=-17 4x – 3y = -5 Substitute.

Answer 1

Answer:

(x,y) = (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off by substituting the value of "x".

5x+7y=-17

x=-$\frac{5}{4} + \frac{3}{4}y$

We then solve 5$5(-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{4}y ) +7y= -17$

y=-1 *Substitute the value of "y"

x= -$-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{4}x(-1)$

x=-2

$\left \{ {{-17=-17} \atop {-5=-5}} \right.$ This works.
