Question

Solve using elimination -3-X=0 -3y=-3-2x

Answer 1

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -1)

Solution:

Given, system of equations are:

-3 - x = 0 --------- eqn 1

-3y = -3 - 2x -------- eqn 2

From eqn 1,

- 3 - x = 0

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 in eqn 2

-3y = - 3 - 2(-3)

-3y = -3 + 6

-3y = 3

y = -1

Thus the solution is (x, y) = (-3, -1)
