Question

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate

the x- and y-values with a comma.
17x = 4 - 12y
-X = 76 - 12y

Answer 1

Answer: x=-4, Y=6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:
`(-4,6)`

Explanation:

Given the system of equations:

`\left \{ {{17x = 4 - 12y} \atop {-x=76 - 12y}} \right.`

You can use the Substitution Method to solve the given system of equations:

Multiply both sides of the second equation by -1:

`(-x)(-1)=(76 - 12y)(-1)\\\\x=-76+12y`

Substitute
`x=-76+12y` into the first equation and then solve for "y":

`17(-76+12y)= 4 - 12y\\\\-1,292+204y=4-12y\\\\204y+12y=4+1,292\\\\y=(1,296)/(216)\\\\y=6`

Substitute the the value of "y" into the the equation
`x=-76+12y` to find the value of "x":

`x=-76+12(6)\\\\x=-4`

Therefore, the solution is:

`(-4,6)`
