Beyond the Answer
To solve the system using substitution, we can plug the expression for \(y\) from the second equation into the first equation. So, we have: 1. First equation: \(5x + 4y = -14\) 2. Second equation: \(y = -7x - 15\) Now, substitute the expression for \(y\) into the first equation: \[ 5x + 4(-7x - 15) = -14 \] Now simplify the equation: \[ 5x - 28x - 60 = -14 \] \[ -23x - 60 = -14 \] Next, add 60 to both sides: \[ -23x = 46 \] Now, divide both sides by -23: \[ x = -2 \] Now that we have \(x\), let's find \(y\) using the second equation: \[ y = -7(-2) - 15 \] \[ y = 14 - 15 \] \[ y = -1 \] Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ (x, y) = (-2, -1) \]
