x-4y-8=3/4-10y add 10y both sides and add 8 x+6y=8+3/4 times 4 both sides 4x+24y=32+3 4x+24y=35
5y-3(6-7/8)=5x-4y+3 add 4y both sides 9y-3(6-7/8)=5x+3 distribute 9y-18+21/8=5x+3 minus 5x both sides 9y-5x-18+21/8=3 add 18 to both sides and minus 21/8 both sides 9y-5x=21-21/8 times 8 both sides 72y-40x=147 72y-40x=147
