is the same as

. The 4s will cancel leaving you with

or

, your 3rd option.
-4x + 7y = 9 ⇒ -4x + 7y = 9 ⇒ 8x - 14y = -18
2y = -5x - 22 ⇒ -5x - 2y = 22 ⇒ <u>-35x - 14y = 154</u>
<u>43x</u> = <u>-172</u>
43 43
x = -4
-4x + 7y = 9
-4(-4) + 7y = 9
16 + 7y = 9
<u>- 16 - 16</u>
<u>7y</u> = <u>-7</u>
7 7
y = -1
(x, y) = (-4, -1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Depends how you were taught to solve it but if it were me I’d choose B) minimum value at -6
