Answer:
(12, - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 7y = 3 → (1)
x = - 4y → (2)
Substitute x = - 4y into (1)
2(- 4y) + 7y = 3
- 8y + 7y = 3
- y = 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = - 3
Substitute y = 3 into (2) for corresponding value of x
x = - 4 × - 3 = 12
Solution is (12, - 3)
