Answer:

Part A) x co-ordinate is -4

Part B) x =1 and y = 2

Explanation:

Part A

Given:

Two equations are given.


y = -(2)/(3) x


4x-9y=-40-----------(1)

Substitute
y = -(2)/(3) x-in equation 1


4x-9(-(2)/(3) x)=-40


4x-(-(2* 9)/(3) x)=-40


4x-(-2* 3 x)=-40


4x-(-6x)=-40

Apply rule
-(-a)=a


4x+6x=-40


10x=-40


x=-(40)/(10)

x=-4

Therefore, the coordinate of x is -4

Part B

Given:

Two equations are given:


-5=x-3y-------(1)


11=-3x+7y---------(2)

solve equation 1


-5=x-3y


x=3y-5----------(3)

substitute
x=3y-5 in equation 2.


11=-3(3y-5)+7y


11=-(9y-15)+7y


11=-9y+15+7y


11-15=-9y+7y


-4=-2y


4=2y


y=(4)/(2)

y = 2

Now, we substitute y = 2 in equation 3.


x=3(2)-5


x=6-5

x = 1

Therefore, The value of y =2 and x = 1
