Answer:

Explanation:

12x+9y=-4

-3x-10y=-1

===

12x+9y = -4

-12x-40y = -4 [Multiply the second equation by 4 and add to the first]

-31y = -8

y = 8/31

y = 0.258

Use this in the 2nd equation to find x:

-3x -10y = -1

-3x -10*(8/31) = -1

-3x -(80/31) = -1

x = ((80/31) - 1)/-3

x = -0.527

The intersect (solution) is at point (-0.527,0.258)
