Question

-4x+11y=-32
-9x+4y=11
elimination

Answer 1

x = -3; y = -4

Explanation:

We can start by eliminating x, which will give us y:

`9(-4x +11y=-32)\\-4(-9x+4y=11)\\\\-36x+99y=-288\\36x-16y=-44\\\\83y=-332\\y=-4`

Now we can plug in -4 for y in the first equation to find x:

`-4x+11(-4)=-32\\-4x-44=-32\\-4x=12\\x=-3`
