5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8

The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)

We are going to solve for X first.

We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8

Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24

Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3

Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2

So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2

Hope this helps!

The addison see to the horizon at 2 root 2mi.

We have given that,Kaylib’s eye-level height is 48 ft above sea level, and addison’s eye-level height is 85 and one-third ft above sea level.

We have to find the how much farther can addison see to the horizon
