Question

-5x+7y=-34 -5x+3y=-6

Answer 1

Answer:

        x = -3,  y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 7y = -34     ⇒  -5x = -34  - 7y

    -5x + 3y = -6

-34  - 7y + 3y = -6

-34 - 4y = -6          {add 34 to both sides}

  -4y = 28             {divide both sides by (-4)}

     y = - 7

-5x + 3y = -6

-5x + 3(-7) = -6

-5x - 21 = -6        {add 21 to both sides}

-5x = 15            {divide both sides by (-5)}

  x = -3
