Please help me with this problemplssssssssssss

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is: x = -5.2, y = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following system of equations:

-7x-2y = 14

6x + 6y = 18

Simplifying the second equation by three, we have that:

x + y = 6

y = 6 - x.

Replacing in the first equation:

-7x - 2(6 - x) = 14

-7x - 12 + 2x = 14

-5x = 26

5x = -26

x = -5.2

y = 6 - x = 6 - (-5.2) = 6 + 5.2 = 11.2

The solution is: x = -5.2, y = 11.2
