The top fully says solve the following system of equations. please help!! ​

x = - 4, y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 7y = - 19 → (1)

7x - 4y = - 24 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 7 , then adding will eliminate the y- term

12x + 28y = - 76 → (3)

49x - 28y = - 168 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

61x + 0 = - 244

61x = - 244 ( divide both sides by 61 )

x = - 4

Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 4) + 7y = - 19

- 12 + 7y = - 19 ( add 12 to both sides )

7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 1

answer: b
