Answer:
x = -4
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 7y = -16 (-3) to eliminate x
-9x + 5y = 16
9x - 21y = 48
-16y = 64
y = 64/-16
y = -4
substitute y= -4 into eq. 1
-3x + 7y = -16
-3x + 7(-4) = -16
-3x = -16 + 28
x = 12 / -3
x = -4
check:
-3(-4) + 7(-4) = -16
- 16 = -16 ok
-9x + 5y = 16
-9(-4) + 5(-4) = 16
16 = 16 ok
Answer:
x=44/3, y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you have to solve for x and y
-3x+ 7y = -16 (1)
-9x+ 5y =16 (2)
multiply (1) by -3 and add it to (2)
9x-21y=48
-9x+5y=16
Add up and get
-21y+5y=48+16 combine like terms
16y=64 divide both sides by 16 and get
y=4
Substitute y=4 in (1)
-3*x+7*4=-16
28+16=3x
44=3x
x=44/3
