Answer:
x=1, y=-1. (1, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+2y=-3
-8x-3y=-5
----------------
-8(-x+2y)=-8(-3)
-8x-3y=-5
------------------------
8x-16y=24
-8x-3y=-5
-----------------
-19y=19
y=19/-19
y=-1
-x+2(-1)=-3
-x-2=-3
-x=-3+2
-x=-1
x=1
(1, -1)
Answer:
x = 1, y = -1
or as an ordered pair, (1, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + 2y = -3
-8x — 3y = -5
Multiply first equation by -8:
8x - 16y = 24
Add this equation to the second equation:
-19y = 19
y = -1.
Plug y = -1 into the second equation:
-8x - 3(-1) = -5
-8x + 3 = -5
-8x = -8
x = 1.
