3x+2y=-3
4x-y=-1 what is the answer

X= -9/10

y= -2 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply equation one by 4 and equation two by 3 to eliminate X

it becomes

-12x + 8y =-12

12x - 3y = -1

add equation one and two,

you'll be left with 5y= -13

divide both sides by 5

y = -13/5 improper fraction

= -2 3/5

Now substitut y = -2 3/5 into any of the original equations to get x.

using equation two, we have

4x -(-2 3/5) = -1

4x + 2 3/5 = -1

4x = -1 - 2 3/5

the LCM of 5 is 5 , so

4x = -5-13/5

4x = -18/5

crossmultiply

4x x 5 = -18

20x = -18

divide both sides by 20

we have x = -18/20, when you cancel further , you have x = -9/10
