Question

-2x – 6y = -24
X-8y = -10

Answer 1

first we find the value of 'y' so

x-8y=-10+8y

x=-10+8y

-2(-10+8y)-6y=-24

20-16y-6y=-24

20-22y=-24-20

-22y=-44

y=2

then also we can find the value of 'x'

-2x-6y=-24

2x-6(2)=-24

2x-12= -24

2x= -24+12

x= -12

Answer 2

{x,y}={31,4}

Explanation:

x-8y = -1 x-6y = 7
