-5х + Зу = -8
3х - 7y = -3

wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 3y, you can’t add those together since they aren’t like numbers

3x - 7y, can’t be done either since again, they aren’t like numbers.

like numbers include the same variable or no variable, which means you cant do -5x + 3y but you can to -5x + 3x. you can add those together since both of the numbers have the variable “x” while 3y and 7y have the same variable “y” therefore those can be added together.

since there isn’t a way to add those, both of those answers are not only wrong, but they’re also in simplest form.
