Question

I need to know the right answer soon it’s due tonight

Answer 1

Multiplying 9/8 and the first equation we get:

`-(63)/(8)x-9y=(81)/(8)\text{.}`

Adding the above equation and the second equation of the system we get:

`-(63)/(8)x-4x=(81)/(8)-22.`

Adding like terms, we get:

`-(95)/(8)x=-(95)/(8)\text{.}`

Therefore:

`x=1.`

Subtituting x=1 in the first equation, we get:

`-7-8y=9.`

Solving the above equation for y, we get:

`\begin{gathered} -8y=9+7, \\ -8y=16, \\ y=-2. \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`x=1,\text{ y=-2.}`
