There are two ways to do this but the way I prefer is to make one of the equations in terms of one variable and then 'plug this in' to the second equation. I will demonstrate
Look at equation 1,
this can quite easily be manipulated to show 
.
Then because there is a y in the second equation (and both equations are simultaneous) we can 'plug in' our new equation where y is in the second one
which can then be solved for x since there is only one variable 
and then with our x solution we can work out our y solution by using the equation we manipulated 
.
So the solution to these equations is x=-2 when y=6

Answer:
x = 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar means that the figures are proportional to each other. Because of this, we can form a problem. (the short side lengths) =
(the long side lengths). Now we can solve this by cross-multiplying. If we multiply 9 · 8 we get 72, and 5 · x is 5x. 72 = 5x. Now divide both sides by 5. 72 ÷ 5 = 14.4. Therefore, x should be equal to 14.4. Does this make sense?
