Solution
Solve the first equation for y
3x + y - 3x = - 6 - 3x
y = - 3x - 6
Original Equations
3x + y = - 6
- 7x - 5y = 30
Solving for y in the first equation yields:
y = - 3x - 6
Substitute this into the second equation:
- 7x - 5(- 3x - 6) = 30
8x + 30 = 30
Now solving for x...
8x + 30 - 30 = 30 - 30
8x = 0
Divide by 8
x = 0
Now plug value of x into the original first equation
3(0) + y = - 6
y = - 6
Answer: (0,-6)
