Question

17x - 4y = -10
3x - 4y = -2
=
What does X equal

Answer 1

Explanation:

17x - 4y = -10 -- equation 1

3x - 4y = -2 --equation 2

equation 1 - equation 2

14x = -8

x= -8/14 -- equation 3

equation 3 into equation 2

3 * (-8/14) - 4y = -2

-4y = -2 + (24/14)

-4y = -4/14

-4y = -2/7

y = 2/28

So x = -8/14 and y = 2/28

Hope that helps!
