Question

−8x+4y=24 What does Y and X equal?
−7x+7y=28
​

Answer 1

Answer:Equation (1):

-8x + 4y = 24

Equation (2):

-7x + 7y = 28

Simplify the equation:

Equation 1 can be simplify by 4:

-2x + y = 6

Equation 2 can be simplify by 7:

-x + y = 4

Add x to both sides of the equation 2:

y = x + 4

Substitute equation 2 into 1:

x + 4 - 2x = 6

x - 2x = 6 - 4

- x = 2

x = - 2.

Substitute - 2 for x in equation 2:

y = - 2 + 4

y = 2.

Therefore, (x, y) = (- 2, 2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation (1):

-8x + 4y = 24

Equation (2):

-7x + 7y = 28

Simplify the equation:

Equation 1 can be simplify by 4:

-2x + y = 6

Equation 2 can be simplify by 7:

-x + y = 4

Add x to both sides of the equation 2:

y = x + 4

Substitute equation 2 into 1:

x + 4 - 2x = 6

x - 2x = 6 - 4

- x = 2

x = - 2.

Substitute - 2 for x in equation 2:

y = - 2 + 4

y = 2.

Therefore, (x, y) = (- 2, 2)
