Answer:X= 1.84. Y= 3.08

Explanation:

-9x+8y =8 ............i

-8x+10y= -16........ii

Multiply equation I by 8

Multiply equation ii by 9

-72x+64y = 64 ..... iii

-72x+90y = 144 ..... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-26y = -80

y= 80/26

y= 3.08

Put the value of y in equation i

-9x+8y =8

-9x+8(3.08) = 8

-9x+24.64 = 8

-9x = 8-24.64

-9x=-16.64

Divide both side by 9

-9x/-9 = -16.64/-9

X= 1.84
