Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 16 = 8x + 15
<u>Step 1</u> : Subtract 15 on both sides
7x + 16 - 15 = 8x
7x + 1 = 8x
<u>Step 2</u> : Subtract 7x on both sides
1 = 8x - 7x
1 = 1x
x = 1
16x+3y=251 and 8x+4y=148 then you set them up to each other and cancel one coefficient through elimination or find out what X or Y equals and substitute into either equation
