Solve system of equations: {:[2x+5y=-11],[-8x-5y=-1]:}

Eliminate y: Add the two equations to eliminate y. 2x + 5y = -11 -8x - 5y = -1 ----------------- -6x = -12 Solve for x: x = 2 Solve for x: Substitute x = 2 into the first equation to find y. 2(2) + 5y = -11 4 + 5y = -11 5y = -15 y = -3

Q. Solve system of equations:

\newline

2x+5y=-11

\newline

-8x-5y=-1

Eliminate y: Add the two equations to eliminate y. $\newline$ $2x + 5y = -11$ $\newline$ $-8x - 5y = -1$ $\newline$ ----------------- $\newline$ $-6x = -12$ $\newline$ Solve for x: $x = 2$
Solve for $x$ : Substitute $x = 2$ into the first equation to find $y$ . $2(2) + 5y = -11$ $4 + 5y = -11$ $5y = -15$ $y = -3$
