Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = -1
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
(2)x + (2)2y = (2)(-1)
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
2x + 4y = -2
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
7x = 14
<=>
x = 2
(*)x + 2y = -1
=> 2 + 2y = -1
=> 2y = -3
=> y = -1.5
=> (x, y) = (2, -1.5)

Answer:
i think its x= 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute:
8x × 5 = 40x
8x × 10 = 80x
8 × 5 = 40
5 × 10 =50
40x + 80x = 40 + 50
add like terms
so it'd be:
120x = 90
now divide 90 by 120 and that would give you the value of x alone which is 0.75
B.) would be correct
(x,y)
x=-5
y=x+4
y=(-5)+4
y=-1
(-5,-1)
