-7x + y = -19
-2x + 3y = -19
Multiply the first equation by -3
21x - 3y = 57
- 2x + 3y = -19
Add the two equations
19x + 0y = 38
Solve for x
x = 2
Substitute the now known value of x into either original equation
-2(2) + 3y = -19
3y = -15
y = - 5
Check your work:
-2(2) + 3(-5) = -4 - 15 = -19 -- Checks
-7(2) + -5 = -14 - 5 = -19 -- Checks
