Question

What is the solution of the system of equations
Y=1/8x-1
-5x+4y= - 13

Answer 1

(2.57, -0.07)

Explanation:

To solve the system of equations, we can substitute the expression for y in the second equation:

-5x + 4(1/8x - 1) = -13

We can then simplify and solve for x:

-5x + (1/2)x - 4 = -13

-3.5x = -9

x = 2.57

We can then substitute this value of x back into the first equation to find the value of y:

y = 1/8(2.57) - 1

y = -0.07

So the solution of the system of equations is (x, y) = (2.57, -0.07)
