Question

2: What is the solution to the system of equations below? ​ 3x+4y=−22x−4y=−8

Answer 1

x=-15/2, y=1/8. (-15/2, 1/8).

Explanation:

3x+4y=-22

x-4y=-8

------------------

4x=-30

x=-30/4

simplify

x=-15/2

-15/2-4y=-8

4y=-15/2-(-8)

4y=-15/2+8

4y=-15/2+16/2

4y=1/2

y=(1/2)/4

y=(1/2)(1/4)

y=1/8
