5x - 2y = -482x + 3y = -23solve for x and y

x = -10, and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = -48

2x + 3y = -23

First equation times -2:        -10x + 4y = 96

Second equation times 5:     10x + 15y = -115

Add the last two equations:            19y = -19

y = -1

Substitute 1 for y in the first original equation.

5x - 2y = -48

5x - 2(-1) = -48

5x + 2 = -48

5x = -50

x = -10

Solution: x = -10, and y = -1

sorry not sure

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
