Question

What is the value of x and y?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Multiply top equation by -2 to get

- 2x -4y=8 add to the second equation to get

- y = 9 then y = -9 use this value in any of the equations to find x = 14

Answer 2

Answer: (14, -9)

Explanation:

The given system of equations:

x + 2y = -4

2x + 3y = 1

To solve, there are a few different methods. I will show you one here. Other methods include substitution and elimination.

The first is to graph the system of equations by graphing both equations. The point of intersection is our solution.
