Question

(8x-9y=-13
(2x-3y = -7

Answer 1

x=4 y=5

Explanation:

8x-9y=-13

2x-3y=-7

Solve for y:

Multiply the bottom by 4 to have the x's equal each other and cancel out:

8x-9y=-13

8x-12y=-28

Then subtract:

0x+3y=15

y=15/3 -> y=5

Solve for x:

Multiply the bottom by 3 to have the y's equal each other and cancel out:

8x-9y=-13

6x-9y=-21

Then subtract:

2x=8

x=4

Answer 2

the answer is x=17,y=14/3
