Answer:
x=−4 and y=1
Explanation:
Rewrite equations:
y=−2x−7;−3x+4y=16
Step: Solvey=−2x−7for y:
y=−2x−7
Step: Substitute−2x−7foryin−3x+4y=16:
−3x+4y=16
−3x+4(−2x−7)=16
−11x−28=16(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−11x−28+28=16+28(Add 28 to both sides)
−11x=44
-11x/-11=44/-11
x=−4
Step: Substitute−4forxiny=−2x−7:
y=−2x−7
y=(−2)(−4)−7
y=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)
x=−4 and y=1
