SOLVE FOR X AND Y 3x+y=7 -4x-y=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make a linear combo of the two equations: -x=14 => x=-14 Sub this value back into equation of your choice: 3(-14)+y=7 y=49 Answer: (-14, 49)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add to eliminate y: -x = 14 x = -14 plug this into ist equation: -42 + y = 7 y = 49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both right (x,y) = (-14,49)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adding both equations ==> -x=14==>x=-14 ==> subtituting in the 1st equation ==> y=49
