Question

Answer the question below

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-1

y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x+y)-(x+y)=-6

6x=-6

x=-1

-1+y=-6

y=-5

Answer 2

Answer:

(-1, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve x + y = -6 for x

• $x + y = -6$

Subtract y from both sides.

• $x + y - y = -6 - y$
• $x = -y - 6$

Substitute -y - 6 for x in 7x + y = -12

• $7(-y-6)+y=-12$

Simplify both sides.

• $-6y - 42 = -12$

Add 42 to both sides.

• $-6y - 42 + 42 = -12 + 42$
• $-6y = 30$

Divide both sides by -6.

• $\frac{-6y}{-6} = \frac{30}{-6}$
• $y = -5$

Substitute -5 for y in x = -y - 6

• $x = -(-5) -6$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

• $x = 5 - 6$
• $x = -1$

Therefore, the answer is (-1, -5).
