Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? please help im struggling really bad ):

Answer 1

`- 11 (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

8x + 5y = 7

4x - 5y = 11

If you all it all up we have

8x + 4x +5y - 5y = 18

12x=18

x=18/12=1.5=3/2 = 1 whole number 1 over 2(1 1/2)

subtituting the value of x into equation 1(8x + 5y = 7)

8(1.5) + 5y = 7

5y=7-12

5y = -5

y=-5/5

y= -1
