Answer:


(-4,-5 )

Explanation:

You are looking for the point of intersection of these two functions.

Substitution:

  • This are now your formulas


\left \{ {{x=-4y-24} \atop {5x+3y=-35}} \right.

  • You are going to substitute x, so you can solve for y

  1. 5(-4y-24)+3y=-35

  2. -20y-120+3y=-35

  3. -17y=85

  4. y=-5
  • Now you are going to substitute y to find x

  1. x=-4(-5)-24

  2. x=20-24

  3. x=-4
  • Now lets check if it is correct

  1. -4+4(-5)=-24 :)

  2. 5(-4)+3(-5)=-35 :)

So it is true, making (-4 , -5) your point of intersection.

hope it helps
