A solution to 3x+4y=-5 and - 5x+y=16 in ordered pair

(x, y) = (-3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

q1 3x + 4y = - 5

q2 - 5x + y = 16

from q2 y = 16 + 5x

Put into q1

3x + 4 (16 + 5x) = - 5

3x + 64 + 20x = - 5

3x + 20 x + 64 = - 5

23x = - 5 - 64

23x = - 69

x = - 69/23

x = - 3

y = 16 + 5 (-3)

y = 16 - 15

y = 1

(x, y) = (-3, 1)
