Answer:
y = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
6x + 11y = - 3 → (1)
4x + y = = 17 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by - 6, then adding will eliminate the term in x
24x + 44y = - 12 → (3)
- 24x - 6y = - 102 → (4)
add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x
0 + 38y = - 114
38y = - 114 ( divide both sides by 38 )
y = - 3
