Answer:

x = 3.5

y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x + 7y = -14)

8x + 14y = -28

  8x + 5y = 8

- (8x + 14y = -28)

--------------------------

        - 9y = 36

            y = 36/-9

            y = - 4

   4x + 7y = - 14

4x + 7(- 4) = - 14

     4x -28 = - 14

            4x = 14

              x = 14/4

              x = 3.5

Solve for y. -13=4y+3
mina [271]

Answer:

y = -4

Explanation:

The initial expression is:

-13 = 4y + 3

So, we need to substract 3 from both sides of the equation:

-13 - 3 = 4y + 3 - 3

-16 = 4y

Then, dividing both sides by 4, we get:

-16/4 = 4y/4

-4 = y

Therefore, the solution of the system is y = - 4.
