Answer:

(-6,-5)

x=-6

y=-5

Explanation:

9x-7y=-19

5x-3y=-15

When solving with elimination, you multiply both equations by a number to get two terms to cancel each other out.

We can try to get the y's to cancel out. The LCD of 7 and 3 is 21, so we multiply one equation by 3 and another by -7 (to get one -21y and one 21y)

{9x-7y=-19}*3=

27x-21y=-57

{5x-3y=-15}*(-7)=

-35x+21y=105

Now, we combine the two equations.

27x-21y=-57

-35x+21y=105

-8x=48

Now, solve for x.

-8x=48

x=-6

Now we can plug x into one of the original equations to get y.

I will use 9x-7y=-19.

9(-6)-7y=-19

-54-7y=-19

Add 54 to both sides.

-7y=35

y=-5

We can put these values into an ordered pair: (-6,-5).
