Question 275815
find value of x and y 
1.) 
2x+5y=-9
3x-4y=-2
---------------
Multiply 1st Eq by 3 ; Multiply 2nd Eq by 2
6x + 15y = - 27
6x -  8y =   -4
----------------
Subtract 2nd from 1st and solve for "y":
23y = -23
y = -1
---------------------
Substitute into original #1 and solve for "x":
2x + 5(-1) = -9
2x = -4
x = -2
Ans: (-2,-1)
======================
 
2.) 
4x+13y=40
4x+3y=-40
-----------------------
Subtract 2nd from 1st:
10y = 80
y = 8
----
Substitute into 4x+3y = -40 to solve for "x":
4x + 3(8) = -40
4x + 24 = -40
4x = -64
x = -16
---
Ans: (-16,8)
==================================
 
3.) 
2x-3y=-15
y=x-2
---
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
=========================================

 
4.)
2x-3y=-15
x=4y
---
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
==========================================
 I'll leave the rest to you.
Cheers,
Stan H.
========================================== 
5.)x+y=14
x=6y 
6.)y=x-2
7y-4x=10
