Answer:
x = 12 , y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{2 x + 7 y = 3 | (equation 1)
x = -4 y | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:
{2 x + 7 y = 3 | (equation 1)
x + 4 y = 0 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{2 x + 7 y = 3 | (equation 1)
0 x+y/2 = -3/2 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 2:
{2 x + 7 y = 3 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Subtract 7 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 24 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 12 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 12 , y = -3
