Solve the system of equations below using elimination.
4x + 4y = -37
2x + 5y = -17
Part A: What is the x-value?
Part B: What is the y-value?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 4y = -37

2x + 5y = -17

we are told to use elimination ,   instead of substitution,

meaning get rid of the x or y  in one of the equations.

Part C :   let's multiply (2x + 5y = -17 ) *  (-2)  so we get

-4x - 10y = 34    , then add

4x + 4y = -37

0x -6y = -3      now we have only one variable ,  y

because both sides have a minus sign, we can just drop it

6y = 3   ( divide both sides by 6)

y = 3/6

Part B : y = 1/2    we now know y

plug in the y value into  1st equation.

4x + 4(1/2) = -37

now solve for x

4x + 2 = -37

4x = -39

Part A :  x = - 39/4
