Answer:
x = -3.84
y = -4.96
Explanation:
-7x+3y=12
2x-8y=32
We multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 7
-14x + 6y = 24
14x -56y = 224
-50y = 248
y = -4.96
Now put -4.96 in for y and solve for x
-7x+3(-4.96) = 12
-7x - 14.88 = 12
-7x = 26.88
x = -3.84
Let's check
-7(-3.84) + 3(-4.96) = 12
26.88 - 14.88 = 12
12 = 12
So, x = -3.84, and y = -4.96 is the correct answer.
