Answer:
x = 0
y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + y = -2………… Equation 1
-3x + 6y = -12 ………… Equation 2
Using substitution
Make y the subject in equation 1 and substitute it into equation 2 and solve for x
That's
y = 5x - 2
We have
- 3x + 6( 5x - 2) = - 12
- 3x + 30x - 12 = - 12
27x = - 12 + 12
27x = 0
Divide both sides by 27
x = 0
Substitute x = 0 into y = 5x - 2
We have
y = 5(0) - 2
y = - 2
So the solutions are
x = 0
y = - 2
Hope this helps you
