Question

Solve the following system of equations. Show your work
-3-3y=12x , -5-y=2x

Answer 1

solving simultaneously

let equation 1 be -3-3y=12x

let equation 2 be -5-y=2x

equation 2 make y subject of formula=> y=-5-2x

replace (y=-5-2x) in equation 1

-3-3(-5-2x)=12x

solve for x

x=2

replace x=2 in equation 2

y=-5-2(2)

y=-9

Therefore, x=2 y=-9
