Answer 1

Answer:

1.

8x + 6y = 28

9x + 3y = 39

Set to equal y.

8x + 6y = 28

6y = -8x + 28

y = -8/6x + 28/6

y = -4/3x + 14/3

9x + 3y = 39

3y = -9x + 39

y = -9/3x + 39/3

y = -3x + 13

Set equal to each other.

-4/3x + 14/3 = -3x + 13

Combine like terms.

5/3x = 25/3

Multiply by 3/5

x = 5

Plug x in.

y = -3(5) + 13

y = -15 + 13

y = -2

(5, -2)

2.

-2x - 9y = -3

-7x - 9y= -33

Set equal to y.

-2x - 9y = -3

-9y = 2x - 3

y = -2/9x + 3/9

y = -2/9x + 1/3

-7x - 9y= -33

-9y = 7x - 33

y = -7/9x + 33/9

y = -7/9x + 11/3

Set equal to each other

-2/9x + 1/3 = -2/9x + 1/3

0 = 0
