Question

When the x is slove and you have to slove for the y i got how to do it but i don't know which one am i sloving for in the equation .like y=6x-11
x=8y

Answer 1

Since x=8y, subsitute 8y for x in other equation

y=6x-11
y=6(8y)-11
y=48y-11
minus y both sides
0=47y-11
add 11 to both sides
11=47y
divide both sides by 47
$\frac{11}{47}=y$
subsitute taht for y to find x

x=8y
$x=8(\frac{11}{47})$
$x=\frac{88}{47}$



$x=\frac{88}{47}$
$y=\frac{11}{47}$
in (x,y) form
(x,y)
$(\frac{88}{47},\frac{11}{47})$
