Solve the system of equations. −6x+2y=−32 − 6 𝑥 + 2 𝑦 = − 32 4x+3y=−9 4 𝑥 + 3 𝑦 = − 9 (1 point) (, )

1 answer

To solve the given system of equations:

  1. \(-6x + 2y = -32\)
  2. \(4x + 3y = -9\)

Let's start by manipulating the first equation to solve for \(y\):

Step 1: Solve for \(y\) in the first equation.

The first equation can be rewritten for \(y\):

\[ -6x + 2y = -32 \]

Add \(6x\) to both sides:

\[ 2y = 6x - 32 \]

Now, divide by 2:

\[ y = 3x - 16 \]

Step 2: Substitute \(y\) into the second equation.

Now substitute \(y\) in the second equation:

\[ 4x + 3(3x - 16) = -9 \]

Distribute \(3\):

\[ 4x + 9x - 48 = -9 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ 13x - 48 = -9 \]

Step 3: Solve for \(x\).

Add \(48\) to both sides:

\[ 13x = 39 \]

Now divide by \(13\):

\[ x = 3 \]

Step 4: Find \(y\) using \(x = 3\).

Now we substitute \(x = 3\) back into \(y = 3x - 16\):

\[ y = 3(3) - 16 \] \[ y = 9 - 16 \] \[ y = -7 \]

Final Solution

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ (x, y) = (3, -7) \]

So the answer is \((3, -7)\).
