Answer 1

Answer: (2, -5) (light blue answer choice)

Solving by substitution

−7x+y=−19;−2x+3y=−19

−7x+y+7x=−19+7x (Add 7x to both sides)

y=7x−19

Step: Substitute7x−19 for y in −2x+3y=−19:

−2x+3y=−19

−2x+3(7x−19)=−19

19x−57=−19 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

19x−57+57=−19+57 (Add 57 to both sides)

19x=38

19x/19 = 38/19 (Divide both sides by 19)

x=2

Step: Substitute 2 for x in y=7x−19:

y=7x−19

y=(7)(2)−19

y= −5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Therefore: x = 2 and y = −5
