Combine the equations to eliminate
#{ (x = -4), (y = 3) :}#
Explanation:
Multiply the first equation by
#{ (8x+6y = -14), (15x-6y=-78) :}#
Add these two equations together to get:
#23x = -92#
Divide both sides by
#x = -4#
Substitute this value of
#-7 = 4(-4)+3y = -16+3y#
Add
#3y = 9#
Divide both sides by
#y = 3#
