Question

-4x-y=24y = 8 what is the missing value

Answer 1

y = 1/3

x = -25/12

Explanation:

Here we need to find the value of 'x' and 'y'

24y = 8 (given)

=> y = 8/24

=> y = 1/3

-4x - y = 8 (given)

Substituting y = 1/3,

=> -4x - 1/3 = 8

=> -4x = 8 + 1/3

=> -4x = (24 + 1)/3

=> -4x = 25/3

=> x = -25/12
