2x−5y=−1
3x+4y=−13

Answer 1

Point Form

(-3,-1)

Equation Form

X= -3

Y= -1

:)

Answer 2

Answer: (-3, -1)

Explanation:

2x - 5y = -1 ⇒ -3(2x - 5y = -1) ⇒ -6x + 15y = 3

3x + 4y = -13 ⇒ 2(3x + 4y = -13) ⇒ 6x + 8y = -26

23y = -23

`(23y)/(23) = (-23)/(23)`

y = -1

2x - 5y = -1

2x - 5(-1) = -1

2x + 5 = -1

-5 -5

2x = -6

`(2x)/(2)` =
`(-6)/(2)`

x = -3

x = -3, y = -1
