PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP

solve using the elimination process and SHOW ALL STEPS
5x+4y=2
3x+3y=-3

IM LITERALLY BEGGING FORN HELP RN

Answer 1

• x = 6, y = -7 or (6, -7)

Explanation:

Given system of equations

• 5x+4y=2
• 3x+3y=-3

Solving as follows:

Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 3

• 3x+3y=-3 divide by 3
• ⇒ x + y = -1

Now, considering the coefficient of x of 5 in the first equation, we will multiply the simplified second equation by 5 and subtract from the first equation:

• x + y = -1 multiply by 5
• ⇒5x + 5y = -5

Subtract it from 5x + 4y = 2

• 5x + 4y - 5x - 5y = 2 - (-5)
• -y = 7
• y = -7

Finding x using simplified second equation:

• x + (-7) = -1
• x = - 1 + 7
• x = 6

Answer is (6, -7)
