SOLUTION: 2X-Y=-2 and X+3Y=-15 2X-Y=-2 1X+3Y=-15 1(2X-1Y=-2) 2(-1X+-3Y=-15) 2X-1Y= -2 -2X+-6Y=-30 -7Y -32 ----- ----- -7 -7 Y= 4.57 Is this correct

Question 57754: 2X-Y=-2 and X+3Y=-15
2X-Y=-2
1X+3Y=-15
1(2X-1Y=-2)
2(-1X+-3Y=-15)
2X-1Y= -2
-2X+-6Y=-30

-7Y -32
----- -----
-7 -7
Y= 4.57
Is this correct? This seems odd because now I have to graph these points. Please help!!!!

2X-Y=-2 and X+3Y=-15
2X-Y=-2
1X+3Y=-15
1(2X-1Y=-2)
2(-1X+-3Y=-15)
2X-1Y= -2
-2X+-6Y=-30
-7Y -32
----- -----
-7 -7
Y= 4.57

Your work looks good so far. You don't have a point
yet; you need to solve for X.
Substitute your y value into one of the original
equations as follows:
2X-Y=-2
2X-4.57=-2
2x=2.57
x=1.285
Your solution is (1.285,4.57)
