Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = - 1 -------------(I)

-5x - 2y = -4 -----------(II)

Multiply the equation (I) by 2 and then add the equations.

(I)*2        8x + 2y = -2

(II)          <u>-5x - 2y = -4</u>  {Now add and y will be eliminated}

             3x         = -6

                       x = -6/3

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 in equation (I)

4*(-2) + y = -1

-8     + y = -1

          y  = - 1 + 8

           y = 7

Answer:

(-2, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = -1

-5x - 2y = -4

---------------------------------------

2(4x + y = -1) = 8x + 2y = -2

---------------------------------------

8x + 2y = -2

-5x - 2y = -4

3x = -6

÷3   ÷3

x = -2

-----------------------------------------

4(-2) + y = -1

-8 + y = -1

+8          +8

y = 7

I hope this helps!

How do you simplify exponents?
cupoosta [38]
The rules tell me to add the exponents. But I when I started algebra, I had trouble keeping the rules straight, so I just thought about what exponents mean. The " a6 " means "six copies of a multiplied together", and the " a5 " means "five copies of a multiplied together". So if I multiply those two expressions together, I will get eleven copies of a multiplied together. That is:
