Question

Find the solution to the system of equations given below:

x=-4
-5x-4y=16

PLS HELP

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since x=-4 plug in the -4 into the equation to find y,

-5(-4)-4y=16

20-4y=16 -20 -20 __________

-4y=-4

-4y/-4=-4/-4

___________

y=1

So now you found both x and y so plug in both now to check if both are correct.

-5(-4)-4(1)=16

20-4=16

16=16

So both y and x are correct.

Hope this helps!:)
