Question

Solve the system of equations..
y = 8x - 6
y= 5x +9

Answer 1

X=5 and y= 34 are the values

Answer 2

x = 5

y = 34

Explanation:

Sub y = 8x - 6 into second equation (y = 5x + 9)

8x - 6 = 5x + 9

Rearrange by collecting like terms

8x - 5x = 9 + 6

3x = 15

x = 5

Sub x = 5 into first equation (y = 8x - 6)

y = (8*5) - 6

y = 40 - 6

y = 34
