8x + 2y = 44
5x + 2y = 35
Since 2y is already common, there is no need for multiplication. Just reverse the signs on the equation.
Like this;
8x + 2y = 44
-5x - 2y = -35
All the additions become subtractions and vice versa.
-2y and +2y get cancelled.
Leaving;
8x = 44
-5x = -35
Now, subtract again.
8x - 5x = 3x
44 - 35 = 9
So;
3x = 9
x = 9 / 3
x = 3
We found 'x' and now we have to find 'y'.
Just substitute.
[8 x 3] + 2y = 44
24 + 2y = 44
2y = 44 - 24
2y = 20
y = 20 / 2
y = 10
Now, we re-check;
[8 x 3] + [2 x 10] = 44
24 + 20 = 44
Explaining the error for #9b is simply doing the whole sum.
Hope this helped! :) I tried my best to explain.

Answer:
a = 3, b = -1, c = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three numbers be a, b and c.
Equation 1: a + b + c = 12
Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31
Equation 3: 9b + c = 1
Equation 2 - Equation 1:
Equation 4: b + 2c = 19
Equation 3 times by the number 2
Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2
Equation 5 - Equation 4
17b = -17
b = -1
Substitute into Equation 4:
2c - 1 = 19
2c = 20
c = 10
Substitute into Equation 1:
a + b + c = 12
a - 1 + 10 = 12
a = 3
