Solve the following system of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,b), with no spaces between the numbers or symbols. 3x+4y=16 -4x-3y=-19
Explanation: You have to make either the number with the variable x or y in front of it in the 1st equation to match the number with the variable x (if x is going to match) or y (if y is going to match).
3x+4y=16 (4) -4x-3y=-19 (3)
12x+16y=64 -12x-9y=-57
7y=7
y=7
Then you plug in your y in the two equations and solve for x.
