Solve the following system of equations -4x - 9y =24 7x + 3y =9

The solution is:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equations

To solve the system multiply by 3 the second equation and add it to the first equation

---------------------------------------

Now substitute the value of x in any of the two equations and solve for y

The solution is:

x = 3 and y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

-4x - 9y = 24    (1)

7x + 3y = 9   ---(2)

To find the solution of given equations

eq(2) * 3 ⇒

21x + 9y  = 27 (3)

eq(1) + eq(3) ⇒

-4x  - 9y = 24    (1)

21x + 9y  = 27 (3)

17x = 51

x = 51/17 = 3

Substitute the value of x in eq(1)

-4x - 9y = 24    (1)

-4*3 - 9y = 24

-9y = 24 + 12

-9y = 36

y = 36/(-9) = -4

Therefore x = 3 and y = -4

m=-16
