You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIND THE VALUES FOR M AND B IN THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM SO THAT THE SOLUTION TO THE SYSTEM IS (-3,4)
5X+7Y=B
MX+Y=22
---------
Substitute the values of x and y into the equations to get:
1st: 5(-3)+7(4)=B
-15+28= B
B=13
------------
2nd: M(-3)+4=22
-3M=18
M=-6
