Solve. Answer in the form (x,y). For example: (-2,3)

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

-x + 3y = ^-1
x - y = 1

Answer (x,y):

Solution
-x + 3y = ^-1
x - y = 1

Add the equations to eliminate x.
-x + 3y = ^-1
+ [ x - y = 1 ]
2y = 0

Now solve for y
Divide by 2

y = 0

Now plug value of y into the original first equation
-x + 3(0) = ^-1
-x = ^-1
Multiply by ^-1

-x(^-1) = -(^-1)

x = 1

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

x + y = ^-4
2x + y = ^-7

Answer (x,y):

Solution
x + y = ^-4
2x + y = ^-7

Subtract the equations to eliminate y.
x + y = ^-4
- [ 2x + y = ^-7 ]
x + y + ^-2x + -y = 3

Now solve for x
Multiply by ^-1

-x(^-1) = 3(^-1)

x = ^-3

Now plug value of x into the original first equation
^-3 + y = ^-4
y - 3 = ^-4
y - 3 + 3 = ^-4 + 3
y = ^-1

Complexity=5

Solve. Answer in the form (x,y). For example: (-2,3)

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

2x - 5y = ^-2
^-3x - y = ^-14

Answer (x,y):

Solution
2x - 5y = ^-2
^-3x - y = ^-14

Multiply the second equation by 5
2x - 5y = ^-2
^-15x - 5y = ^-70

Subtract the equations to eliminate y.
2x - 5y = ^-2
- [ ^-15x - 5y = ^-70 ]
2x - 5y - (^-15x - 5y) = 68

Now solve for x
Divide by 17

x = 4

Now plug value of x into the original first equation
2(4) - 5y = ^-2
^-5y + 8 = ^-2
^-5y + 8 - 8 = ^-2 - 8
^-5y = ^-10

Divide by ^-5

y = 2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

2x - 3y = 4
x - y = 1

Answer (x,y):

Solution

2x - 3y = 4
2x - 2y = 2

Subtract the equations to eliminate x.
2x - 3y = 4
- [ 2x - 2y = 2 ]
2x - 3y - (2x - 2y) = 2

Now solve for y
Multiply by ^-1

-y(^-1) = 2(^-1)

y = ^-2

Now plug value of y into the original first equation
2x - 3(^-2) = 4
2x + 6 = 4
2x + 6 - 6 = 4 - 6
2x = ^-2

^-7x - 4y = ^-7

Subtract the equations to eliminate y.
24x - 4y = 148
- [ ^-7x - 4y = ^-7 ]
24x - 4y - (^-7x - 4y) = 155

Now solve for x
Divide by 31

x = 5

Now plug value of x into the original first equation
6(5) - y = 37
-y + 30 = 37
-y + 30 - 30 = 37 - 30
-y = 7

Multiply by ^-1

-y(^-1) = 7(^-1)

y = ^-7

Correct Answer

Your Answer

10x - 7y = 104
^-9x - 8y = ^-65

Answer (x,y):

Solution
10x - 7y = 104
^-9x - 8y = ^-65

Multiply the first equation by 8
Multiply the second equation by 7
80x - 56y = 832
^-63x - 56y = ^-455

Subtract the equations to eliminate y.
80x - 56y = 832
- [ ^-63x - 56y = ^-455 ]
80x - 56y - (^-63x - 56y) = 1287

Now solve for x
Divide by 143

x = 9

Now plug value of x into the original first equation
10(9) - 7y = 104
^-7y + 90 = 104
^-7y + 90 - 90 = 104 - 90
^-7y = 14

Divide by ^-7

y = ^-2

^-4x - 2y = ^-46
-x + 2y = 21

Add the equations to eliminate y.
^-4x - 2y = ^-46
+ [ -x + 2y = 21 ]
^-5x = ^-25

Now solve for x
Divide by ^-5

x = 5

Now plug value of x into the original first equation
^-2(5) - y = ^-23
-y - 10 = ^-23
