Question

Solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

(5,-3) if the system is

y=x-8

2x+3y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the system is to read:

y=x-8

2x+3y=1.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm going to plug 1st equation into 2nd equation giving me:

2x+3(x-8)=1      ->I replaced y with (x-8).

Distribute:

2x+3x-24=1

Combine like terms:

5x-24=1

Add 24 on both sides:

5x=25

Divide both sides by 5:

x=5

If y=x-8 and x=5, then y=5-8=-3.

The solution is (5,-3).
