6x=-58-11y;-4x=2-11y Solution : {x,y} = {-6,-2} System of Linear Equations entered : [1] 6x + 11y = -58 [2] -4x + 11y = 2 Graphic Representation of the Equations : 11y + 6x = -58 11y - 4x = 2 Skip Ad
Solve by Substitution :// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 11y = 4x + 2 [2] y = 4x/11 + 2/11// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 6x + 11•(4x/11+2/11) = -58 [1] 10x = -60 // Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 10x = - 60 [1] x = - 6 // By now we know this much : x = -6 y = 4x/11+2/11// Use the x value to solve for y
y = (4/11)(-6)+2/11 = -2 Solution : {x,y} = {-6,-2}
