Answer:

One solution (9,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x - y = -6

2x + 7y = -3

7(-x - y = -6) = -7x - 7y = -42

2x + 7y = -3

-7x - 7y = -42

2x + 7y = -3

-5x = -45

/-5    /-5

x = 9

-x - y = -6

-9 - y = -6

+9       +9

-y = 3

/-1   /-1

y = -3

(x, y) -> (9, -3)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 9

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-x - y = -6

2x + 7y = -3

----------------------------

2(-x - y = -6)

-2x - 2y = -12

----------------------------

-2x - 2y = -12

2x + 7y = -3

5y = -15

÷5      ÷5

y = -3

----------------------------

-x - y = -6

-x - (-3) = -6

-x + 3 = -6

    -3      -3

-x = -9

÷-1   ÷-1

x = 9

I hope this helps!
