Answer:
x=-6, y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
−x+2y=4 and −2x−2y=14
I will solve by elimination. We can eliminate the y variable by adding these together.
−x+2y=4
−2x−2y=14
-----------------
-3x = 18
Divide each side by -3
-3x/-3 = 18/-3
x = -6
But we still need to solve for y
-x + 2y =y
Substitute x in
- -6 +2y =4
6 +2y = 4
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6 + 2y = 4-6
2y = -2
2y/2 = -2/2
y= -1
