Question

x+4y=17 and -x-6y=-23 what's the x and y I really badly need this I need this so I can play at my basketball game tommorw and I still have like 8 questions to go

Answer 1

• x = 5
• y = 3

Solution:

• => x + 4y = 17

-x - 6y = -23

• => -2y = -6
• => y = 3

Now, let's substitute the value of y into the first equation.

• x + 4y = 17
• => x + 4(3) = 17
• => x + 12 = 17
• => x = 5

Let's check our answer to make sure it is correct.

Check:

• -x - 6y = -23
• => -(5) - 6(3) = -23
• => -5 - 18 = -23
• => -23 = -23

Hence, this is proven correct.

Hoped this helped.
