Math Problem Statement

6x+5y+4=0 3x-4y=11

Solution

Thank you for providing the equations! The system of linear equations is:

  1. 6x+5y+4=06x + 5y + 4 = 0
  2. 3x4y=113x - 4y = 11

Let's solve this system of equations using either the substitution method or the elimination method. I'll proceed with the elimination method for clarity.

Step 1: Eliminate one of the variables

First, we’ll rewrite the equations in standard form:

6x+5y=4(Equation 1)6x + 5y = -4 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} 3x4y=11(Equation 2)3x - 4y = 11 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}

Step 2: Multiply the equations to align coefficients for elimination

To eliminate xx, we can multiply the second equation by 2:

2(3x4y)=2(11)2(3x - 4y) = 2(11) 6x8y=22(New Equation 2)6x - 8y = 22 \quad \text{(New Equation 2)}

Now, we have the system: 6x+5y=4(Equation 1)6x + 5y = -4 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} 6x8y=22(New Equation 2)6x - 8y = 22 \quad \text{(New Equation 2)}

Step 3: Subtract the equations

Now subtract Equation 1 from New Equation 2:

(6x8y)(6x+5y)=22(4)(6x - 8y) - (6x + 5y) = 22 - (-4) Simplifying the left-hand side: 6x8y6x5y=266x - 8y - 6x - 5y = 26 13y=26-13y = 26

Step 4: Solve for yy

Now solve for yy: y=2613=2y = \frac{26}{-13} = -2

Step 5: Substitute y=2y = -2 back into one of the original equations

Let’s substitute y=2y = -2 into Equation 2: 3x4(2)=113x - 4(-2) = 11 3x+8=113x + 8 = 11 Subtract 8 from both sides: 3x=33x = 3 Divide by 3: x=1x = 1

Final Solution:

The solution to the system of equations is: x=1,y=2x = 1, \quad y = -2
