Answer:
y=-5/11 and x=-23/11
Explanation:
We can use the elimination method
We have
2x-7y= -1 and
3x- 5y = -4
We can multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 2. This gives us
3(2x-7y)= -1(3) and
2(3x- 5y) = -4(2)
Distributing and simplifying results in
6x-21y=-3 and
6x-10y=-8
Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get
0x-11y=5
-11y=5
y=-5/11
putting this into the first equation, we get
2x-7(-5/11)=-1
2x+35/11=-1
x=(-1-35/11)/2
x=-23/11
