  1. Answer:

    [tex]\huge\boxed{\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=2\\y=-3\end{array}\right }[/tex]

    Step-by-step explanation:

    [tex]\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x+4y=-4&|\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\x+7y=-19\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-x-y=1\\x+7y=-19\end{array}\right}\qquad|\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad6y=-18\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 6}\\.\qquad y=-3\\\\\text{substitute it to the first equation}\\\\-x-(-3)=1\\-x+3=1\qquad|\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\-x=-2\qquad|\text{change the signs}\\x=2[/tex]

    Question :-

    Solve the simultaneous equation using elimination method

    (iv) 4x + 4y = -4 , x + 7y = – 19

    Answer :-

    ➠ 4x + 4y = – 4. . . .(1)

    ➠ x + 7y = – 19 . . . .(2)

    Multiply (1) by 7 (2) by 4 we get,

    28x + 28y = – 28

    4x + 28y = – 76

    (-) (-) (+)

    ___________________

    24x = 48

    x = 48/2

    x = 2

    Then, x = 2

    ➻ 4x + 4y = – 4

    ➻ 4(2) + 4y = – 4

    ➻ 8 + 4y = – 4

    ➻ 4y = – 4 – 8

    ➻ 4y = – 12

    ➻ y = – 12/4

    ➻ y = – 3

    Hence, the value of x = 2, y = 3.
