Answer 2

Answer:

x = -6, y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve for x and y is using the substitution method

(1) 3x + 4y = -46

(2) 6x + y = -43

Solve for y in equation (2)

6x + y =-43, so y = -43 - 6x

Substitute y = -43 -6x into equation (1)

3x + 4(-43 -6x) = -46

3x -172 -24x = -46

-21x -172 = -46

-21x = 126

x = -6

Find y by substituting x = -6 into equation (2)

6(-6) + y = -43

-36 + y = -43

y = -7
