Answer:


x = 0 \\ y = 6


- 6y + 11x = - 36nd - 4y + 7x = - 24 \\ - 4( - 6)y - 4 * 11x = - 4( - 36)nd - 6( - 4)y - 6 * 7x = - 6( - 24) \\ 24y - 44x = = 144nd24y - 42x = 144 \\ 24y - 24y - 44x + 42x = 144 - 144 \\ - 44x + 42x = 144 - 144 \\ - 2x = 0 \\ x = 0 \\ \\ y = 6

Answer:

x = 0

y = 6

Explanation:

-6y + 11x= -36

-4y+7x= -24

Solve for y.

-6y + 11x= -36

-6y = -36 -11x

y = 6- (-11/6x)

y = 6 + 11/6x

Put y as 6 + 11/6x and solve for x.

-4(6 + 11/6x) + 7x = -24

-24 + (-44/6x) + 7x = -24

-24 -1/3x = -24

-1/3x = 0

x = 0

Put x as 0 and solve for y.

-6y + 11x= -36

-6y + 11(0)= -36

-6y = -36

y = 6
