Answer: (-6,-5)
Explanation:
2x - 2y = -2 ............ equation 1
3x - y = -13 ................ equation 2
solving by substitution method
from equation 2 , make y the subject of the formula, we have
y = 3x + 13 .............. equation 3
substitute equation 3 into equation 1 , we have
2x - 2 (3x + 13 ) = -2
2x - 6x - 26 = -2
-4x - 26 = -2
-4x = -2 +26
-4x = 24
x = 24/-4
x = -6
substitute x = -6 into equation 3 to get the value of y , we have
y = 3(-6) + 13
y = -18 +13
y = -5
