The solution to the system of equations is (-7, 5)
What are linear equations?
Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change. Note that the constant average rates of change can also be regarded as the slope or the gradient
How to determine the solution to the system?
A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.
In this case, the system of equations is given as
2x + y = -9
3x + 5y = 4
Make y the subject in 2x + y = -9
So, we have
y = -2x - 9
Substitute y = -2x - 9 in 3x + 5y = 4
So, we have
3x + 5(-2x - 9) = 4
Open the bracket
So, we have
3x - 10x - 45 = 4
Evaluate the like terms
-7x = 49
Divide both sides by -7
x = -7
Substitute x = -7 in y = -2x - 9
y = -2(-7) - 9
Evaluate
y = 5
Hence, the solution to the system of equations is (-7, 5)
