Answer:
(-1.43, -5.57)
Explanation:
Elimination:
First we need to line up x or y to be the opposite so they can be eliminated:
4x - 3y = 11
-2( 2x - 5y = 25) which is
-4x + 10y = -50
Next step we cancel out the x but adding both equations which would isolate the y:
7y = -39
y = -5.57
After finding y, plug it back into the equation to find x:
4x - 3(-5.57) = 11
4x + 16.71 = 11
4x = -5.71
x = -1.43
To ensure it is correct, we can plug it back into both equations:
4(-1.43) - 3(-5.57) = 11
2(-1.43) - 5(-5.57) = 25
