What is X and Y please.


Sagot :

Answer:

( -4, -3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve by elimination. Reason being there are no variables without coefficients.

−5y+3x=3     Multiply equation by 3. Each term.  

−8y+9x=−12

-15y + 9x = 9       Subtract the to equations

-8y  + 9x = -12

___________

-7y = 21

y = -3

Substitute y into original equation

-5(-3) + 3x = 3

15 + 3x = 3            Subtract 15 both sides

3x = -12                 Divide by 3, both sides

x = -4

Answer:

y=-3

x=-4

Check:

-5(-3)+3(-4) =3

15-12=3

3=3 ✅

-8(-3)+9(-4)=-12

24-36=-12
