The gcf of 25 and 60 is 5
Solve algebrically 3x - 4y = -24 and x + 4y = 8 is x = -4 and y = 3
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given two equations which are as follows:
3x - 4y = -24 ----- eqn 1
x + 4y = 8 -------- eqn 2
We have been asked to solve the equations which means we have to find the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.
We rearrange eqn 2 as follows:
x + 4y = 8
x = 8 - 4y ------eqn 3
Now we substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1 as follows:
3(8 - 4y) -4y = -24
24 - 12y - 4y = -24
-16y = -48
y = 3
Substitute "y" value in eqn 3. Therefore the value of ‘x’ becomes:
x = 8 - 4(3)
x = 8 - 12 = -4
Hence on solving both the given equations we get the value of x and y as -4 and 3 respectively.

Take the equations and solve them. they should lead up to degrees. Then add those degrees together and subtract that answer by 360 degrees and that should be your answer.
Hope this helps
