Answer: x = -2 , y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-y=-11
2x+3y=5
Solve 4x-y=-11 for y
Add -4x to both sides
4x-y+-4x=-11+-4x
-y=-4x-11
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1=-4x-11/-1
y=4x+11
Substitute 4x+11 for y in 2x +3y=5
2x+3y=5
2x+3(4x+11)=5
Simplify both sides of the equation
14x+33=5
Add -33 to both sides
14x+33+-33=5+-33
14x=-28
Divide both sides by 14
14x/14=-28/14
x=-2
Substitute -2 for x in y= 4x+11
y=4x+11
y=(4)(-2)+11
Simplify both sides of the equation
y=3
