-7x-4y=18
y=-5x-24

solve for x and y (show work)

ima answer it but first how do i show the work

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6, 6)

x=-6, y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve for this is by substitution. This means substituting y with -5x-24 in the first equation. It gives you the same variables and is easy to work with.

1. Set up your equation: -7x-4(-5x-24)=18

2. Use the distribution property: -7x+20x+96=18

3. Add like terms: 13x+96=18

4. Subtract 96 from both sides: 13x=-78

5. Divide by 13 to get x alone: x=-6

Now that we have x, we can find y much easier by plugging in -6 for x.

1. Set up your equation: -5(-6)-24=y

2. Multiply: 30-24=y

3. Subtract: 6=y

Check your answers!

-7(-6)-4(6)=18

-5(-6)-24=6

There you go! Hope this helped :)

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.
