Answer:

x=-45/11

y=10/11

Explanation:

y = x + 9 eq 1

3x + 8y = -5 eq 2

Re arranging eq 1

x-y=-9

Now multiply eq 1 with 8

8x-8y=-40 now call as eq 3

Add eq 2 and 3

3x+8y=-5

8x-8y=-40

11x=-45

x=-45/11

put value of x in eq 2 for y

3(-45/11)+8y=-5

-135/11+8y=-5

8y=-5+135/11

8y=(-55+135)/11

8y=80/11

y=(80/11)*(1/8)

y=10/11

Check

3*(-45/11)+8*(10/11)=-5

-135/11+80/11=-5

(-135+80)/11=-5

-55/11 =-5

-5=-5
