That's not a linear system, but you have an awesome school system for giving you this problem.

Multiply by 6xy to clear the fractions.

That's a second degree equation, also known as a conic. That one happens to be a hyperbola.


Let's clear the fractions from the second equation, multiplying out common denominator xy:


We are being asked to find the meet of two hyperbolas, so we expect two answers, a quadratic equation.
Substituting,





We have to rule out x=0 because it's in the denominator.


Answer: (44/19, 33/20)
First, we calculated the discounted price which would have been paid by Keith. That is the product of 85% and $36,000.
($36,000) x (85%) = $30,600
Then, after negotiating to pay 9% off the sale price, he will only need to pay 91% of the sale price. The new price would be,
($30600) x (0.91) = $27846
Thus, Keith will only need to pay $27,846.

~ hope this helps!
(-1,8) is the correct answer I’m pretty sure
