Answer:
Y= -4. X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation
3x+5y= -5 ------------(1)
4x+5y= -8 ------------(2)
Using elimination method
Eliminate x
×4. 3x+5y= -5
×3. 4x+7y= -8
12x+20y= -20
-(12x+21y= -24) Minus
-y=4 therefore y= -4
Substitute x into equation 1
3x+5(-4)= -5
3x-20= -5
3x= -5+20
3x= 15
x=5
