Question #d5f91

1 Answer

Solve it like a system of equations.

Explanation:

You might scared of the fractions, but its okay.
x-4y=9
2x-3y=11
Cancel out some variable (I did -2 to the top to cancel x because it seemed easier)
-2x+8y=-19
2x-3y=11
5y=-7;
y=-7/5
Plug it into any equation (I chose the top again)
x-4(-7/5)=9;
x+28/5=9
x=17/5
Check (plug into both equations!)
2(17/5)-3(-7/5)=11; 34/5+21/5=11; 55/5=11; 11=11
17/5-4(-7/5)=9; 17/5+28/5=9; 45/5=9; 9=9
So x=17/5, y=-7/5
