Question

Please help
y=-4x-23
y=-2x-8

Answer 1

x=-15/2 and y=7

Explanation:

y=-4x-23

y=-2x-8

Two methods, substitution and elimination. Elimination is the easiest, so you can subtract the equations.

y=-4x-23

-(y=-2x-8)

----------------------

y=-4x-23

-y=2x+8

------------ so solve :)

0=-2x-15

becomes 2x=-15

so x=-15/2

------------------------ plug in x to solve for y

and you get y=7
