Someone be as kind as to offer some help?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 and y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the elimination method:

4(-x + 5y=-4) --> -4x + 20y = -16.

Now we add -4x + 20y = 016 and 4x + 3y = 16. This gives us 23y = 0 or just y =0.

Now we can find x by plugging in y.

-4x + 0 = -16.

Divide by -4 on both sides -> x = 4.

If you want to double check you can plug your values into -4x + 20y = -16.

-4(4) +20(0) = -16.
