\huge{ \mathrm{ \underline{Answer :}}}

The given equations are : -

−5x + 8y = 0 - [1]

-7x - 8y = -96 -[2]

Add the equations :


  • \mathrm{- 5x + 8y + (- 7x - 8y) = 0 + (- 96)}


  • \mathrm{- 5x + 8y - 7x - 8y = - 96}


  • - 12x = - 96


  • x = 8

_____________________________

plugging value of x in [1] :


  • - 5x + 8y = 0


  • ( - 5 * 8) + 8y = 0


  • - 40 + 8y = 0


  • 8y = 40


  • y = 5

Answer:

-5x+8y-7x-8y=-96

-12x =-96

X= 8

if X=8,

(-5×8)+8y=0

8y=40

y=5

x=8

y=5
