1: (-1,-1) is (x, y) to see if it is a solution, you would just plug in x and y and see if the equation is true.
-4 (-1) + 2(-1) = 2
4 + -2 = 2
2 = 2 CORRECT
So... plug in x and y in the second equation to Make sure it works for that one too.
-1 + -1 = -2
-2 = -2 CORRECT
So, yes. (-1,-1) is a solution to both equations.
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!

Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to get x alone on one side of the equation.
Add one to each side of the equation. Subtract 8x from each side of the equation. Divide both sides by -7. You should get 1 as the answer.
