-5y=7 and overline 3 overline x - 2y = - 4 .

1 answer

To solve the system of equations, let's start with the first equation:

-5y = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for y:

y = -7/5

Now let's substitute this value of y into the second equation:

3x - 2(-7/5) = -4

Multiply -2 and -7/5:

3x + 14/5 = -4

Subtract 14/5 from both sides:

3x = -4 - 14/5
3x = -20/5 - 14/5
3x = -34/5

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

x = -34/5 / 3
x = -34/5 * 1/3
x = -34/15

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -34/15 and y = -7/5.
