Answer:

x = -25/29 , y = 22/29

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 3 y = -4 | (equation 1)

5 x + 7 y = 1 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{5 x + 7 y = 1 | (equation 1)

2 x - 3 y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 7 y = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - (29 y)/5 = (-22)/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -5:

{5 x + 7 y = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+29 y = 22 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 29:

{5 x + 7 y = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 22/29 | (equation 2)

Subtract 7 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = (-125)/29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 22/29 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = (-25)/29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 22/29 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -25/29 , y = 22/29
