i need help on this problem.
Find the ordered pair\((x,y)\) that satisfies the system of equations
\(\begin{align*} x+3y &= -4,\\ 3x -7y &= 36. \end{align*}\)
Subtract 3y from the first equation to get x = -3y - 4
Substitute x into the second equation to get -9y - 12 - 7y = 36
Simplify: -16y - 12 = 36 --> -16y = 48 --> y = -3
Solve for x using the first equation: x = 9 - 4 = 5
Your answer is ( 5 , -3 )
