Question

Algebra please help!!!!

Answer 1

x = - 2, y = - 8

Explanation:

13x - 6y = 22 → (1)

x = y + 6 → (2)

substitute x = y + 6 into (1)

13(y + 6) - 6y = 22

13y + 78 - 6y = 22

7y + 78 = 22 ( subtract 78 from both sides )

7y = - 56 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 8

substitute y = - 8 into (2)

x = y + 6 = - 8 + 6 = - 2

then x = - 2 and y = - 8
