Question

3x-5y=-33
16x+y=-51

Answer 1

you can subtract 16x from that side to bring it to the other so that it's y=-16x-51
then you can plug that into the other equation so it's:
3x+ -5(16x+ -51) = -33
can you get it from there?

Answer 2

\[\:y=\frac{375}{83},\:x=-\frac{288}{83}\]

Answer 3

i think that answer was almost right

3x + -80x + 255 = -33
3x + -80x = -33 - 255
-77x = -288
-288/-77 = x
x = 3.703 or 288/77
