Answer:

The first stpe in solving this system of equations is finding either X or Y in terms of the other variable. Ex: x = 8 - y or y = 8 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

When faced with a system of equations problem, you need to find one variable at a time. To do this, you need to eliminate one of the variables from one of the equations. I used x + y = 8 because that was simplier to find one of the variables from. From there, you can substitute that in for the variabel in the secone equation.

3x - 2y = -6

3x - 2(8 - x) = -6

3x - 16 + 2x = -6

5x - 16 = -6

5x = 10

x = 2

Than you can use that and plug it back into one of the original equations to find the other variable.

x + y = 8

2 + y = 8

y = 6

The sum of eight times a number and fifteen is seven

asambeis [7]

8x+15=7

In the statement the phrase the sum of can tell you that it is going to be an addition problem. So 8x ( eight times a number) would be added to the 15, 8x+15. Since its an addition problem the part where it says ' ... is seven', you know that it will all equal 7. So the answer would be 8x+15=7.
