Question

Solve the following system of equations:

3x-5y=-11
7x+2y=-12.
Express your answer as an ordered pair. (x, y)

Answer 1

Answer: (-2, 1)

Explanation:

We will graph the given equations. The point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations. See attached.

They intersect at the point (-2, 1) giving us an answer of x = -2 and y = 1, but this question asks for the answer as an ordered pair so we leave it as is.
