50 will mark show all use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. explain each step of your solution. if steps are not explained, you will not receive credit for that step. 2x+9y= -26 -3x-7y=13

x=5, y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+9y = -26

-3x-7y = 13

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2x+9y = -26)

6x +27y = -78

Multiply the second equation by 2

2(-3x-7y = 13)

-6x -14y = 26

Add these two equations together

6x +27y = -78

-6x -14y = 26

13y = -52

Divide by 13

13y/13 = -52/13

y = -4

Now we need to find x

2x+9y = -26

2x+9(-4) = -26

2x-36=-26

Add 36 to each side

2x-36+36 = -26+36

2x=10

Divide by 2

2x/2 =10/2

x=5

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
