Question

2x+7y=3

x=−4y

​what is x and y

Answer 1

x = 12

y = -3

Explanation:

Solving for Y

2x + 7y = 3

x = -4y

2(-4y) + 7y = 3

-8y + 7y = 3

-1y = 3

-1y/-1 = 3/-1

y = -3

Solving for X

x = -4y

x = -4(-3)

x = 12

Checking Work

2(12) + 7(-3) = 3

24 + -21 = 3

3 = 3

x = -4y

x = -4(-3)

x = 12

12 = 12

Answer 2

x=-4

y=-3

Explanation:

2(-4y)+7y=3

-8y+7y=3

y=-3
