Question

Please help its confusing me

Answer 1

x = -9

y = 8

Explanation:

(using substitution)

4x-y = -44

4x + 44 = y

substitute (4x+44) as y in the other equation

2x + 3(4x+44) = 6

2x+12x+132 = 6

14x = -126

x = -9

then plug -9 as x into one of the equations to find y

4(-9) - y = -44

-36-y=-44

-y=-8

y=8

then check the answer by plugging in the values of x and y (-9 and 8) for x and y in one of the equations

4(-9) - (8) = -44

you get: -44 = -44, which is true, so the x and y values are correct

Answer 2

x=−9 and y=8

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

2x+3y=6;4x−y=−44

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(2x+3y=6)

1(4x−y=−44)

Becomes:

−4x−6y=−12

4x−y=−44

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−7y=−56

Then solve−7y=−56for y:

−7y=−56

-7y/-7 = = -56/-7

(Divide both sides by -7)

y=8

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

2x+3y=6

Substitute8 for y in 2x+3y=6:

2x+(3)(8)=6

2x+24=6(Simplify both sides of the equation)

2x+24+−24=6+−24(Add -24 to both sides)

2x=−18

2x/2 = -18/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

x=−9

Answer:

x=−9 and y=8
