Answer:
y = 5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know what x is already.
x = 4y + 22
Now we plug that in to the first equation.
-3 ( 4y + 22) - y = -1
Distribute the -3.
-12y - 66 - y = -1
Combined like terms:
-13y - 66 = -1
-13y = 65
Divide -13 on both sides:
y = -5
Now plug your y into the second equation:
x = 4(-5) + 22
x = -20 + 22
Simplify:
x = 2
Check your answer:
-6 - (-5) = -1
2 = -20 + 22
