Question

-3y + 8x = 36
6x + y = -21

Answer 1

x=−27/26

and y=−192/13

Explanation:

6x+y=−21;8x−3y=36

Step: Solve6x+y=−21for y:

6x+y=−21

6x+y+−6x=−21+−6x(Add -6x to both sides)

y=−6x−21

Step: Substitute−6x−21foryin8x−3y=36:

8x−3y=36

8x−3(−6x−21)=36

26x+63=36(Simplify both sides of the equation)

26x+63+−63=36+−63(Add -63 to both sides)

26x=−27

26x

26

=

−27

26

(Divide both sides by 26)
