Answer:
x = 4 and y = −1
(4, -1)
Explanation:
I going to solve this system of equations by elimination. (You could also solve by substitution too.)
Multiply the first equation by 1, and multiply the second equation by -2.
1(−2x+9y= -17)
-2(-x - 3y = -1)
Becomes:
−2x + 9y = −17
2x + 6y = 2
Add these equations to eliminate x:
15y = −15
15y/15 = -15/15
y = -1
Now we solve for x:
-x -3(-1) = -1
-x + 3 = -1
-3 -3
-x = -4
x = 4
Hope this helped!
