Please help with this algebra!! I’m

(-4, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4y

-4x - y = 17

Plug in 4y for x in the second equation:

-4(4y) - y = 17

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, multiply 4y with -4:

-4(4y) = -16y

-16y - y = 17

Simplify. Combine like terms:

-16y - y = 17

-17y = 17

Isolate the variable, y. Divide -17 from both sides:

(-17y)/-17 = (17)/-17

y = 17/-17

y = -1

Plug in -1 for y in the first equation:

x = 4y

x = 4(-1)

x = -4

x = -4, y = -1

(-4, -1)
