Answer:
x = [tex]-\frac{24}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8y = -16
6x + 8y = -8
= 7x = -24
Divide both sides by 7;
x = [tex]-\frac{24}{7}[/tex]
Answer:
Step 1: Get rid of y and solve for x by using elimination.
[tex]-8y = -16\\6x + 8y = -8\\\\6x = 24\\\\x = 4[/tex]
Step 2: Plug what we found for x in the SECOND equation, then solve for y.
[tex]6(4) + 8y = -8\\\\24 + 8y = -8\\\\8y = -32\\\\y = -4[/tex]
Now, we can put both numbers together for our solution.
(4, -4)
