Answer:

(-4,-2)

x=-4

y=-2

Explanation:

-3x-4y=20

3(x-10y=16)=3x-30y=48

The reason I multiplied 3 to the second equation is for when we add the equations together the x will cancel out.

-3x-4y=20

+ 3x-30y=48

-34y=68

Divide -34 from both sides.

y=-2

To find x you need to plug in -2 for y into one of the equations.

x-10y=16

x-10(-2)=16

Remember a negative times a negative equals a positive.

x+20=16

Subtract 20 from both sides.

x=-4

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
