4x - 3y = -11
-7x - 8y = 6
We need to cancel out one of the variables so let's multiply the first equation by 8 and the second by 3 and aim to cancel y.
32x - 24y = -88
-21x - 24y = 18
Now we subtract,
53x = -106
x = -2
3y = 4x + 11 = 4(-2) + 11 = 3
y = 1
Answer: (x,y)=(-2,1)
Check:
4(-2) -3(1) = -8 - 3 = -11, good
-7(-2) - 8(1) = 14 - 8 = 6, good
1 plus 1 is 2.

U would do this because no matter the order, the answer will be the same
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
(1) 20p + 9t = 44.4
(2) (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51
The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.
All you need to do is multiply 18*60 = 1080 feet per minute, which is really fast.
