−5x + y = −3 <br> 3x − 8y = 24
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = 0

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -3 --------------(I)

3x - 8y = 24 ------------(II)

Multiply the equation (I) by 8

(I)*8    - 40x + 8y = -24

(II)     <u>     3x -  8y   =  24</u><u> </u>   {Add and y will be eliminated}

           -37x          = 0

                     x     = 0

Plugin x = 0  in equation(I)

-5*0 + y = -3

     0 + y = -3

           y = -3
