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