Answer:
(x, y) = (-2,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by 3,and multiply the second equation by 1.
3(3x+y=−11)
1(4x−3y=7)
Becomes:
9x+3y=−33
4x−3y=7
Add these equations to eliminate y:
13x=−26
Then solve13x=−26for x:
13x=−26
13x
13
=
−26
13
(Divide both sides by 13)
x=−2
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
3x+y=−11
Substitute−2forxin3x+y=−11:
(3)(−2)+y=−11
y−6=−11(Simplify both sides of the equation)
y−6+6=−11+6(Add 6 to both sides)
y=−5
Answer:
x=−2 and y=−5
