Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y will have same value, y doesn't really matter. Thus,

We can solve for y in the 2nd equation as:

-3x - y = 4

-3x - 4 = y

Now we can plug it into the first and solve for x:

-9x + 4y = 8

-9x + 4(-3x - 4) = 8

-9x - 12x - 16 = 8

-21x = 8 + 16

-21x = 24

x = 24/-21

x = -8/7

Correct answer is C.

Answer: Option C

C-8/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equations

 -9x + 4y = 8 and -3x - y = 4

We want to find a value of x that satisfies both equations and obtains the same value of y.

To find the value of x, clear the value of y in both equations

-9x + 4y = 8\\\\-9x + 4y -8 = 0\\\\-9x -8 = -4y\\\\y = \frac{9}{4}x +2

------------------------------

-3x - y = 4\\\\\-3x -y - 4 = 0\\\\y = -3x -4

Now solve both equations and solve for x.

\frac{9}{4}x +2 = -3x -4\\\\\frac{21}{4}x = -4-2\\\\\frac{21}{4}x = -6\\\\21x = -24\\\\x = -\frac{24}{21}\\\\x = -\frac{8}{7}

The answer is x = -\frac{8}{7}

Answer:

<h2>A)x=3/2 y=½</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • system of linear equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
  • since y is equal to both equation therefore we can substitute the value of y into the other equation
  1. \sf substitute \: the \: value \: of \: y :  \\  \sf  - x + 2 = 3x - 4
  2. \sf add \: x \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf  - x + x + 2 = 3x + x - 4 \\  \sf 4x - 4 = 2
  3. \sf add \: 4 \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf xx - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4 \\ 4x = 6
  4. \sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4 :  \\  \frac{4x}{4}  =  \frac{6}{4}  \\ x =  \frac{3}{2}

let's figure out y

  1. substitute the got value of x into the second equation: y=3*3/2 -4
  2. simplify multiplication:9/2 -4
  3. simplify division:4.5-4
  4. substract:0.5 alternate form:y=½
