Answer:
x=−4 and y=−1
Step-by-step explanation:
I will solve your system by substitution.
y=−2x−9;y=−5x−21
Step: Solve y=−2x−9for y:
Step: Substitute−2x−9foryiny=−5x−21:
y=−5x−21
−2x−9=−5x−21
−2x−9+5x=−5x−21+5x(Add 5x to both sides)
3x−9=−21
3x−9+9=−21+9(Add 9 to both sides)
3x=−12
(Divide both sides by 3)
x=−4
Step: Substitute−4forxiny=−2x−9:
y=−2x−9
y=(−2)(−4)−9
y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=−1
