PLZ CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS !!

Answer 1

Answer:

(-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find a common multiple to use to add and find the system of equations. We need to eliminate one of the variables in order to solve.

Since 5 * 3 = 15, and 3 * -5 = 15, -15x and 15x will cancel each other out. Therefore x will be eliminated.

Before:

5x + 2y = -16

3x + 7y = 2

After:

15x + 6y = -48   <----------Now we solve for y

-15x + -35y = -10

+----------------------

-29y = -58

-29      -29

y = 2

Now what we do is we choose and equation and solve for x, since it is still unknown. Any equation is fine but I will choose the second one since it has easy numbers.

3x + 7y = 2

3x + 7(2) = 2

3x + 14 = 2

   -14     -14

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

3x = -12

3        3

x = -4

Therefore our final answer is (-4,2)
