Question

7x+5y=-2
-6x+y=44 solve using substitution method

Answer 1

Use the second equation and solve it for \(y\) to get \(y=44+6x\). Substitute this to the first equation to get
\(7x+5(44+6x)=-2\)
\(7x+30x+220=-2\)
\(37x=-222\)
\(x=-6\)
It follows \(y=44+6(-6)=6\).

Answer 2

would this be an ordered pair?

Answer 3

There was a mistake \(y=44-36=8\) :)
So the order pair is \((-6,8)\)
