Answer:

The solution is ; x = 5 and y= -7

Explanation:

The two inequality equations are given as;

2x + 2y = -4 ------------{i}

4x + y = 13 ------------{ii}

Making the x terms equal by multiply equation {i} by 4 and {ii} by 2 to get

{2x + 2y = -4 } 4

{4x + y = 13 } 2

8x + 8y = -16

8x + 2y = 26

6y = -42

y= -42/6

y= - 7

Use y= -7 in the equation 4x + y = 13

4 x - 7 = 13

4x = 13 + 7

4x = 20

x= 20/4

x= 5

The solution is ; x = 5 and y= -7
