Answer:


x=(40)/(11)

y=-(58)/(11)

Step-by-step explanation:
\left \{ {{6x+3y=6} \atop {7x+9y=-22}} \right.

Multiply both sides of the equation by a coefficient


\left \{ {{3\left(6x+3y\right)=6*3} \atop {7x+9y=-22}} \right.

Apply the Distributive Property

\left \{ {{18x+9y=6*3} \atop {7x+9y=-22}} \right.

Calculate the product or quotient


\left \{ {{18x+9y=18} \atop {7x+9y=-22}} \right.

Subtract the two equations

18x+9y-(7x+9y)=18-(-22)

Remove parentheses

18x+9y-7x-9y=18+22

Cancel one variable

18x-7x=18+22

Combine like terms

11x=18+22

Calculate the sum or difference

11x=40

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

x=(40)/(11)

Substitute into one of the equations

7*(40)/(11)+9y=-22

Write as a single fraction

(7*40)/(11)+9y=-22

Calculate the product or quotient

(280)/(11)+9y=-22

Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator

(280*11)/(11)+9y*11=-22*11

Reduce the fractions

280+9y*11=-22*11

Multiply the monomials

280+99y=-22*11

Calculate the product or quotient

280+99y=-242

Rearrange variables to the left side of the equation

99y=-242-280

Calculate the sum or difference

99y=-522

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

y=-(522)/(99)

Cross out the common factor

y=-(58)/(11)

The solution of the system is

\left \{ {{x=(40)/(11)} \atop {y=-(58)/(11)}} \right.

I hope this helps you

Answer:

X = ( 40/11 )

Y = ( -58/11 )

Explanation:

6x + 3y = 6

7x + 9y = -22

-------------------------

-3(6x + 3y = 6)

= -18x - 9y = -18

-------------------------

-18x - 9y = -18

7x + 9y = -22

-11x = -40

÷-11 ÷-11

x = ( 40/11 )

------------------------

6( 40/11 ) + 3y = 6

( 240/11 ) + 3y = 6

-( 240/11 ) -( 240/11 )

3y = ( -174/11 )

÷3 ÷3

y = ( -58/11 )

---------------------------

I hope this helps!
