Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

5w+4x=-2
5w+2x=-3

Solve for w in 5w+4x=-2.

w=-25-4x5

5w+2x=-3

Replace all occurrences of w with -25-4x5 in each equation.

-2-2x=-3

w=-25-4x5

Solve for x in -2-2x=-3.

x=12

w=-25-4x5

Replace all occurrences of x with 12 in each equation.

w=-45

x=12

List all of the solutions.

w=45,x=12
