what is the solution to the system of equations 2x+y=-3 x-2y=-4

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay.... what you can do, is solve the second equation for x by adding 2y to both sides.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

what do you get?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

let x=0, solve for y for the first one and plug it into second one (0,y) insert the solved value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 @ksaimouli ?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

No,

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[-3-2x=(-4-x)/-2\] solve for X

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

plug that x value to one of the equation to solve for y

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

you should get (-2,1)
