The solutions to the given system of equations are x = 4 and y = -9

<h3>Simultaneous linear equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the solutions to the given system of equations

The given system of equations are

-8x-4y=4  --------- (1)

-5x-y=-11   --------- (2)

Multiply equation (2) by 4

4 ×[-5x-y=-11 ]

-20x -4y = -44  -------- (3)

Now, subtract equation (3) from equation (1)

-8x -4y = 4  --------- (1)

-(-20x -4y = -44)  -------- (3)

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Substitute the value of x into equation (2)

-5x -y = -11

-5(4) -y = -11

-20 -y = -11

-y = -11 + 20

-y = 9

∴ y = -9

Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations are x = 4 and y = -9

What is the basic difference between liability insurance and collision insurance?
tia_tia [17]
Liability insurance only covers incidents that youre liable for... so if you hit a car, your insurance pays for damages on other persons car and not your own car. Collision is usually covered in a collision with another vehicle.. so like not if you hit a tree or something
