Question

-4x-y=24 complete the missing value in the solutiom to the equation (_,8)

Answer 1

We are given the following equation:

`-4x-y=24`

We are told that that part of the solution is:

`(x,y)=(-,8)`

Since we are given the value of "y", we can replace this value in the given equation:

`-4x-8=24`

Now we solve for "x", first by adding 8 on both sides:

`\begin{gathered} -4x-8+8=24-8 \\ -4x=16 \end{gathered}`

Now we divide both sides by -4

`x=(16)/(-4)=-4`

Therefore the complete solution is:

`(x,y)=(-4,8)`
