Answer:

(- 4, 4 )

Explanation:

y = - 7x - 24 → (1)

y = - 2x - 4 → (2)

substitute y = - 2x - 4 into (1)

- 2x - 4 = - 7x - 24 ( add 7x to both sides )

5x - 4 = - 24 ( add 4 to both sides )

5x = - 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 4

substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

substituting into (1)

y = - 7(- 4) - 24 = 28 - 24 = 4

solution is (- 4, 4 )
