Answer:

(-3, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + y = 8

x - 5y = 17           Multiply this by 4:

4x - 20y = 68     Add this to the first equation:

-19y = 76

y = 76/-19

y = -4.

Plug this into the second equation:

x - 5(-4) = 17

x = 17 - 20

x = -3.

CHECK this result in equation 1:

-4(-3) + -4 =  8

12 - 4 = 8

8 = 8  <------ OK.

The solution of the given system of equations is [tex]y=-4[/tex].

Important information:

  • [tex]-4x+y=8[/tex]          ...(i)
  • [tex]x-5y=17[/tex]          ...(ii)

System of equations:

Multiply both sides by 5 in equation (i).

[tex]-20x+5y=40[/tex]         ...(iii)

Add equation (ii) and (iii).

[tex]-19x=57[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{57}{-19}[/tex]

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x=-3[/tex] in (i).

[tex]-4(-3)+y=8[/tex]

[tex]12+y=8[/tex]

[tex]y=8-12[/tex]

[tex]y=-4[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the given system of equations is [tex]y=-4[/tex].
