Question

-4x+y=23 and 4x-9y=-15

Answer 1

Answer:  x= -6; y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + y = 23

4x - 9y = - 15

-4x + y = 23

      y = 23 + 4x     [Add 4x to both side]

4x - 9(23 + 4x) = - 15

4x - 207 - 36x = - 15

-32x - 207 = -15

-32x = 192             [Add 207 to both side]

    x = -6                [Divide -32 from both side]

-4x + y = 23

-4(-6) + y = 23          [Plug in -6 for x]

24 + y = 23              [Subtract 24 from both side]

       y = -1
