Question

Please help!! Linear Equations

Answer 1

`\left(\boxed{2},\boxed{3}\right)`

Explanation:

We start by multiplying the bottom equation by 3, and add them.

Now, divide both sides by 8 to find y:

`\sf (8y)/(8) =(24)/(8)`

`\sf y = 3`

Now that we know y = 3, we can substitute it into either of the original equations to find x.

Let's substitute it into the top equation:

`\sf 9x - 7(3) = -3`

`\sf 9x - 21 = -3`

`\sf 8x = - 3 + 21`

`\sf -3x + 5y = 99x = 18`

`\sf (9x)/(9)=(18)/(9)`

`\sf x = 2`

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

`\left(\boxed{2},\boxed{3}\right)`
