Question

HELP what is the answer to this using systems of equations
y=1/8x−1

−5x+4y=−13

Answer 1

x = 2

y = -3/4

Explanation:

1. Substitute y=1/8x -1 in −5x+4y=−13

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

2. Solve for x

-5x + 4/8x - 4 = -13

-9/2x - 4 = -13

-9/2x = -9

x = 2

3. Now that you know x = 2, plug it into y=1/8x - 1 to find what y is.

y= 1/8(2) - 1

y= 2/8 - 1

y= -3/4
