Given the equation:

2x + y = -9

-3x + 11 = y

Determine the answer.

Solution:

In order to determine the answer, we simply need substitute the value of y from the second equation to the first equation, and solve first for x.

2x + y = -9

2x + ( - 3x + 11) = -9

2x - 3x + 11 = -9

-x + 11 = -9

Transpose -x and -9 to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

11 + 9 = x

x = 20

Substitute the value of x to the 2nd equation, and then solve for y.

-3(10) + 11 = y

-30 + 11 = y

y = -19

Final answer:

x = 20

y = -19
