Answer:
y=-3
x=-4
Check:
-5(-3)+3(-4) =3
15-12=3
3=3 ✅
-8(-3)+9(-4)=-12
24-36=-12
-12=-12✅
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
