Answer: (8, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x - 3y = -28
x + 2y = 0
1. Multiply both sides of the bottom system by 5 to cancel the x out
5(x+2y=0)
5x + 10y = 0
2. rewrite
-5x - 3y = -28
5x + 10y = 0
3. add
0x + 7y = -28
4. divide by 7
7y = -28
5. y = -4
6. plug in -4 for y in one of the original equations
x + 2(-4) = 0
7. simplify
x = 8
9. solution is
(8, -4)
