Answer:
the value of x is -12 and the value of y is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
x = 3y ----- (1)
[tex]\frac{x}{2} + 2y = -14[/tex] ----(2)
Substitute the value of x into equation (2)
[tex]\frac{3y}{2} + 2y = -14\\\\multiply \ through \ by \ 2\\\\3y + 4y = -28\\\\7y = -28\\\\divide \ through \ by \ 7 \\\\y = -4\\\\solve \ for \ x\\\\x = 3y\\\\x = 3(-4)\\\\x = -12[/tex]
Thus, the value of x is -12 and the value of y is -4
