x=\frac{-16}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-4
Divide -16 by 4 to get -4.
5\left(-4\right)+y=7
Consider the first equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.
-20+y=7
Multiply 5 and -4 to get -20.
y=7+20
Add 20 to both sides.
y=27
Add 7 and 20 to get 27.
x=-4 y=27
The system is now solved.
