Question 394513: Find the values of x and y that solve the following system of equations.
-3x-4y = -22
5x - 8y = -22

-3x-4y = -22
5x - 8y = -22
:
Multiply the 1st equation by -2
6x + 8y = 44
5x - 8y = -22
----------------adding eliminates y, find x
11x = 22
x =
x = 2
:
Find y using the 2nd equation
5(2) - 8y = -22
10 - 8y = -22
-8y = -22 - 10
-8y = -32
Multiply both sides by -1
8y = 32
y =
y = 4
:
:
Check solutions in the 1st equation
-3x - 4y = -22
-3(2) - 4(4) = -22
-6 - 16 = -22; confirms our solutions
