Question

What is the solution to the system of equation

-7x-2y=-13
X-2y=11
Using substitution

Answer 1

-7x - 2y = -13
-7x + 7x - 2y = 7x - 13
-2y = 7x - 13
-2 -2
y = -3.5x + 6.5

x - 2y = 11
x - 2(-3.5x + 6.5) = 11
x - 2(-3.5x) - 2(6.5) = 11
x + 7x - 13 = 11
8x - 13 = 11
+ 13 + 13
8x = 24
8 8
x = 3

y = -3.5x + 6.5
y = -3.5(3) + 6.5
y = -10.5 + 6.5
y = -4
(x, y) = (3, -4)
