4 - 4y = -2
- 9x - 4y = -3

x = -1/3 , y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{4 - 4 y = -2

-9 x - 4 y = -3

Express the system in standard form:

{0 - 4 y = -6

-9 x - 4 y = -3

Express the system in matrix form:

(0 | -4

-9 | -4)(x

y) = (-6

-3)

Write the system in augmented matrix form and use Gaussian elimination:

(0 | -4 | -6

-9 | -4 | -3)

Swap row 1 with row 2:

(-9 | -4 | -3

0 | -4 | -6)

Multiply row 1 by -1:

(9 | 4 | 3

0 | -4 | -6)

Divide row 2 by -2:

(9 | 4 | 3

0 | 2 | 3)

Divide row 2 by 2:

(9 | 4 | 3

0 | 1 | 3/2)

Subtract 4 × (row 2) from row 1:

(9 | 0 | -3

0 | 1 | 3/2)

Divide row 1 by 9:

(1 | 0 | -1/3

0 | 1 | 3/2)

Collect results:

 {x = -1/3 , y = 3/2

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
