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#
