Question

8x+11y=37
8x+y=7
Solve for x and y

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the method of substitution.

From the second equation, we can express y in terms of x: y = 7 - 8x.

Substituting this value of y into the first equation:

8x + 11(7 - 8x) = 37

Now we can solve for x.

X=1/2
