Answer:

y = -5

x = -2

Explanation:

x+7y=-37

2x-5y=21

Multiply first equation by -2

-2 × (x + 7y) = -37 ➡ -2x -14y = 74

now add the equation up

2x-5y -2x -14y = 21 + 74 (-2x will eliminate 2x)

-19y = 95 divide both sides by 19

y = -5 we can find the value for x by using this information

x + 7y = -37 replace y by -5

x + 7×(-5) = -37

x = -2
