Answee:
We have these two equations:
-2x +4y =-22
2x + 8y -26
We need to try to get the same number multiplying both x or y, I think we can make the 2 of the first equation negative, for that, we multiply all the equation by -1:
2x + 8y =-26 ---- -2x - 8y =26
Now we have this:
-2x +4y = -22
-2x -8y = 26
Now e substract both equations:
-2x - (-2x) +4y -(-8y) = -22-26
12y = -48
Y = -48/12 = -4
And we replace to get x
-2x + 4y = -22
-2x +4*(-4)=-22
-2x - 16 = -22
x= -6/-2 =3
Answer:
x=-20
Step-by-step explanation:
7 times -6x, because “a number” can be replaced with x
