Question

Answer the question below

Answer 1

x=-1

y=-5

Explanation:

(7x+y)-(x+y)=-6

6x=-6

x=-1

-1+y=-6

y=-5

Answer 2

(-1, -5)

Explanation:

Solve x + y = -6 for x

• 
  `x + y = -6`

Subtract y from both sides.

• 
  `x + y - y = -6 - y`
• 
  `x = -y - 6`

Substitute -y - 6 for x in 7x + y = -12

• 
  `7(-y-6)+y=-12`

Simplify both sides.

• 
  `-6y - 42 = -12`

Add 42 to both sides.

• 
  `-6y - 42 + 42 = -12 + 42`
• 
  `-6y = 30`

Divide both sides by -6.

• 
  `(-6y)/(-6) = (30)/(-6)`
• 
  `y = -5`

Substitute -5 for y in x = -y - 6

• 
  `x = -(-5) -6`

Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `x = 5 - 6`
• 
  `x = -1`

Therefore, the answer is (-1, -5).
