Question

Solve:3x-8y=-33

solve:9x+8y=29

show work please

Answer 1

for the first one: x = -25/3 or -8.333333

for the second one: x = 29-8y/9

Explanation:

for the first one:

add 8 to both sides 3x=-33 + 8

simplify -33+8 to -25

divide both sides by 3

which gives you -25/3 or 8.333333

for the second one:

subtract 8y from both sides 9x=29-8y

divide both sides by 9

which gives you x= 29-8y/9
