Question

-3x + y = -24
y = 7x + 22

Answer 1

x = -11.5;. y = -58.5

Explanation:

-3x+y=-24

y=7x+22

-3x+(7x+22)=-24

-3x+7x+22=-24

4x=-24-22

4x = -46

x = - 11.5

y= 7 * (-11.5) + 22

y = -58.5

Answer 2

first one: 8

second one: 3

Explanation:

-3x + y = -24 |÷(-3x)

y = 8

y = 7x + 22 |-y

(y would be 1; the 7x moves to the other side.) meams:

7x = 21 |÷7

x = 3
