Question

5x - y = -7
X + y = -5

Answer 1

x = -2

y = -3

Explanation:

5x - y = -7

x + y = -5

6x = -12

x = -2

x + y = -5

-2 + y = -5

y = -5 + 2

y = -3

Answer 2

(-2,-3)

Explanation:

x + y = -5

y = -x - 5

5x - (-x - 5) = -7

5x + x + 5 = -7

6x = -12

x = -2

x + y = -5

-2 + y = -5

y = -3
