Question

I need help with this problem ASAP!

Answer 1

x=-4 y=-2 other person explains it greatly!

Answer 2

x=−4 and y=−2

The solution is ( -4, -2)

Explanation:

x−y=−2;2x−3y=−2

Step 1: Solve x−y=−2 for x:

x−y=−2

x−y+y=−2+y(Add y to both sides)

x=y−2

Step 2: Substitute y−2 for x in 2x−3y=−2:

2x−3y=−2

2(y−2)−3y=−2

−y−4=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−y−4+4=−2+4(Add 4 to both sides)

−y=2

-y/-1 = 2/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)

y = -2

Step 3: Substitute −2 for y in x=y−2:

x=y−2

x=−2−2

x=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x=−4 and y=−2
