x - y = - 11 .............( 1 )
y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )
from equation ( 1 )
x - y = - 11
x = -11 + y ...........( 3)
putting x in equation ( 2 )
y + 7 = - 2 x
y + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y ) y + 7 = 22 - 2 y y + 2 y =22 - 7
3 y = 15 y = 15 / 3
putting value of y in equation 3
x = -11+ ( 13 /5 ) x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3 ( l.c.m)
x = -17 / 5
check
x = -11 + y
- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5
-17 /5 = -17 / 5
Multiply first, then add. 12 times 7 = 84. Then add 8. 84 + 8 = 92.
