3X + 4Y = -5 ......(1)
5X + 6Y = -7 ......(2)

Equation (1) * 5:

15X + 20Y = -25 .....(3)

Equation (2) * -3:

-15X - 18Y = -21 ....(4)

Equation (3) + Equation (4):

15X + 20Y = -25
+ -15X - 18Y = -21

= 0X + 2Y = -46

Y = -23

You find X. I'm too lazy.

Thanks Rieman Hyposthesis, can someone else help me find X. I am struggling with algebra. I wish that I could just "GET IT".
Thanks ever so much....

3X + 4Y = -5

and y = -23 as we have previously found

Substituting Y:

3X + 4(-23) = -5

3X + -92 = -5

3X = -5 + 92

3X = 87

X = 29

the solution above is wrong dudes

3x+4y=-5 ----(1)
5x+6y=-7 ----(2)

(1)*6 => 18x+24y = -30
(2)*4 => 20x+24y=-28

substract first eq from second
=> 2x =2
=> x=1

put this in (1)
y=-2
