x + 4y = -10
2x - y = 7

Sagot :

Answer:

(2, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4y = - 10 → (1)

2x - y = 7 → (2)

multiplying (2) by 4 and adding to (1) will eliminate y

8x - 4y = 28 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

9x + 0 = 18

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

2 + 4y = - 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 3

solution is (2, - 3 )
