Answer:
x= -7
y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 20y = -62
(3x - 9y = -12) * (-2)
6x + 20y = -62
-6x + 18y = +24
0x+38y= -38
y= -1
replace y in any of the 2 equations
ill replace it in this once since it's easier
3x - 9y = -12
3x -9(-1)= -12
3x +9=-12
3x= -12-9
3x= -21
x= -7
Answer:
(-41/3 ,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Multiply so we can eliminate x and solve for y
6x + 20y = -62
2(3x - 9y = -12)
6x + 20y = -62
- 6x - 18y = -24
--------------------------
38y = -38
y = 1
Step 2. Solve for x
6x + 20(1) = -62
6x = -82
x = -41/3
(-41/3,1)
