Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB

Answer:
(x, y) = (-1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations are "consistent" and "not dependent." This will be the case whenever the ratios of x- and y-coefficients are different.

We can solve this by "elimination" by multiplying the first equation by -4 and adding the result of the second equation being multiplied by 7.
-4(2x -7y) +7(7x -4y) = -4(19) +7(5)
-8x +28y +49x -28y = -76 +35 . . . . eliminate parentheses
41x = -41 . . . . . simplify
x = -1 . . . . . . . divide by 41
Using the second equation, we find y to be ...
(7x -5)/4 = y = (7(-1) -5)/4 = -12/4 = -3
So, the solution is (x, y) = (-1, -3).
