Step-by-step explanation:
Since y= -7x you will want to substitute the y in the other equation.
2x -(-7x) = -9
2x + 7x = -9
9x = -9
so x will be -1
y= -7(-1)
x= -1
y= 7
Answer:
x = -1 , y =7 (-1,7)
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y=-7x\\2x-y = -9\\[/tex]
[tex]2x+7x = -9[/tex]
[tex]2x+7x = 9x\\[/tex]
[tex]9x = -9\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9x}{9} =\frac{-9}{9}[/tex]
[tex]x = -1\\[/tex]
[tex]y = -7(-1)\\y = 7[/tex]
