To solve the system using the elimination method, we can first multiply the second equation by 3 to align the coefficients of \(x\): 1. First equation: \(-3x - 4y = -13\) 2. Second equation (after multiplying by 3): \(-3x + 15y = 6\) Now, our system of equations looks like this: \[ -3x - 4y = -13 \quad (1) \] \[ -3x + 15y = 6 \quad (2) \] Next, we can subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate \(x\): \[ (-3x + 15y) - (-3x - 4y) = 6 - (-13) \] This simplifies to: \[ 15y + 4y = 6 + 13 \] \[ 19y = 19 \] \[ y = 1 \] Now that we have \(y\), we can substitute \(y = 1\) back into the original second equation to find \(x\): \(-1x + 5(1) = 2\) This simplifies to: \(-x + 5 = 2\) Solving for \(x\): \(-x = 2 - 5\) \(-x = -3\) \(x = 3\) Thus, the solution to the system of equations is \(x = 3\) and \(y = 1\). Therefore, the solution is: \((x, y) = (3, 1)\).
