Find the solution of the system of equations.
- 3x + 4y = 12
2.x + 2y = -22

Sagot :

Answer:

x = -8

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you're going to want to get x or y by itself using elimination or substitution. I used elimination to get x by itself.

You can multiply the second equation (2x + 2y = -22) by -2 so you can eliminate the y's. When you multiply it, you get -4x - 4y = 44

Then, you can add -3x + 4y = 12 and -4x - 4y = 44. The y's cancel out to leave -7x = 56. Divide both sides by -7 to get x = -8.

Now, you can plug in -8 for x in either one of the equations. I plugged it into the second equation to make it 2(-8) + 2y = -22.

2 · -8 = -16.

-16 + 2y = -22. Add 16 to both sides to get 2y = -6. Divide both sides by to get y = -3.

Hope this helps! :)
