Answer:
x= - 82/31
y= -68/31
Explanation:
9x + y = -26 (Equation 1)
5x +4y = -22 (Equation 2)
Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of y in equation (2) and equation 1 by the coefficient of y in equation (1)
36x + 4y = -104
- 5x + 4y = -22
___________
31x = -82
x = - 82/31
To get the y value,
Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 and equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1
9x + y = -26 (x5)
5x + 4y =-22 (x9)
45x +5y = -130
- 45x + 36y = -198
______________
-31y=68
y= - 68/31
