Question

solving system of equation using the elimination method and enter the value of y 4x - 5y equals -2 - 9 - 4x + Y equals -2

Answer 1

4x - 5y = -9

-4x + y = -7

Step 1

Eliminate variable x

Different sign eliminate x and add.

-5y + y = -9 + (-7)

- 4y = -9 - 7

- 4y = -16

y = -16/-4

y = 4

Step 2

Substitute y in any equation and find x.

-4x + y = -7

-4x + 4 = -7

-4x = -7 - 4

-4x = -11

x = -11/-4

x = 11/4

X = 11/4 Y = 4
