Question

Need to know x and y for this please help

Answer 1

for this case we know this:

3x -29 + 8y +17 = 180

And solving we have:

3x + 8y = 192

8y -17 = 6x -7

8y -6x = -24

Multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding to the second one we got::

6x + 16y = 384

-6x +8y = -24

______________

24y = 360

y= 15

And x= (192- 8*15)/ 3 = 24
