Solve the system using eliminationx+7y=-37 2x-5y=21

y = - 5

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7y=-37

2x-5y=21

Multiply first equation by - 2

-2 * (x + 7y) = - 37 ➡ - 2x - 14y = 74

now add the equation up

2x-5y - 2x - 14y = 21 + 74 (-2x will eliminate 2x)

-19y = 95 divide both sides by 19

y = - 5 we can find the value for x by using this information

x + 7y = - 37 replace y by - 5

x + 7 * (-5) = - 37

x = - 2
