Question

16х + бу = -10
10 + бу = -13

Answer 1

First solve for y:
10+6y=-13
-10. -10
6y=-23
/6. /6

Y= -3 5/6

Now, solve for x:

16x+6(-3 5/6)=-10
16x-23=-10
+23. +23
16x=13
/16. /16

X=.8125

Answer 2

Explanation:

This is a system of equations problem

Since the y's are equal to each other, all you have to do is subtract the equations from each other.

Subtract:

16x-10x= (-10)-(-13)

6x=3

Divide 6 from both sides:

x=1/2
