Answer:
x = -1 and y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are :
2x+3y= -11 ...(1)
8x -2y= -2 ...(2)
We need to solve the equations.
Multiply equation (1) by 4.
8x+12y= -44 ...(3)
Subtract equation (2) from (3).
8x+12y-(8x -2y) = -44-(-2)
8x+12y-8x +2y = -42
14y = -42
y = -3
Put the value of y in equation (2).
8x -2(-3)= -2
8x+6 = -2
8x = -8
x = -1
So, the values of x and y are -1 and -3 respectively.
